Drive through the fertile plain of Boeotia, crossing the town of Thebes, which is connected with the tragedy of King Oedipus, Levadia and Arachova, famous for its colourful rugs and carpets (short stop on the way back). Arrive at Delphi, the centre of the Ancient world - the "Omphalos" (Navel of the Earth) - whose prestige extended far beyond the boundaries of the Hellenic world.
On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, in a landscape of unparalleled beauty and majesty, lie the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios. Visit the Treasury of the Athenians, the Temple of Apollo and the museum that contains such masterpieces of ancient Greek sculpture as the bronze Charioteer and the famous athlete Aghias. Lunch in the modern village of Delphi, return to Athens by the same route.
