Walk the trails of gods, heroes and pilgrims.
Small-group hikes from Delphi to the sites you can only reach on foot, led by two local guides from Kirra.
Delphi, on foot and off the map.
If you are planning to visit Delphi, we offer you exclusive (2–7 persons) planned hiking trips to the most iconic archaeological sites of the area, that are not accessible by any other means, such as Herakles Pyre, Corycian Cave and Ephialtis Path (where king Leonidas and the 300 Spartans fought), as well as the ancient path of pilgrims from Delphi to Kirra with larger groups (8+ persons).
Hikes from Delphi
Transport from Delphi, Chrisso or Itea is included on every hike except the Ancient Path, which starts on foot in Delphi.
