Delphi, Arachova mountain village and Hosios Loukas Unesco Monastery Day Tour from Athens Including Great Lunch & Drinks

€580

What makes this tour different than other similar ones?

  1. We start early (not very!) to avoid the crowds and possibly the heat.
  2. We visit the important Athina Pronain site that most people miss out on and is part of Delphi.
  3. We don’t have lunch in touristy locations like Delphi & Arachova.
  4. We include lunch and drinks because they are part of the experience!
  5. We include Hosios Loukas monastery! It’s a miss if you have made the trip to Delphi and skip this beautiful monastery!

Leaving Athens, you will experience some of the most stunning archaeological sites that Greece has to offer, including the Temple of Apollo and the Stadium, both world-famous for their splendor and history.

Hosios Loukas 1,000 y.o. UNESCO monastery

While transporting you back through the ages, this tour will also bring you to Arachova, a village built out of stone, and Hosios Loukas, a monastery as striking as it is significant to the heritage of Delphi. The convenience for your group of 1-8 people is unbeatable, pick-up, and drop-off right at your Athens hotel. You can leave all the planning up to your driver/tour leader, who is an expert in the local culture, and knows how to fit years of Greek wonders and memories into the day that you spend with us.

A truly private & personalized tour for your group only.

Meet your private driver/guide in the lobby of your hotel for your departure. Begin the drive towards the northwest area of Athens, where you will arrive at the archaeological site of Delphi in just 2 hours without any unnecessary stops that many scheduled tours make. Explore the classic treasures, theater, and ancient ruins taking photos along the way. Take a moment to appreciate the Temple of Apollo, originally built in the 7th century B.C. and reconstructed on two additional occasions.

After observing this very historic archeological site and museum of Delphi, head to the scenic Arachova village, a small mountain town rich in culture.

Then you visit a non-touristy village for a great lunch & drinks for an authentic Greek food experience. This includes mixing with the locals so that you get a real feeling of the country.

After lunch, you head to the nearby Hosios Loukas monastery, with your driver arranging for coffee/tea/chocolate and homemade dessert to be ready for you after exploring the site. This beautiful location offers excellent views and peaceful surroundings. A 1,000 years old monument preserved to perfection is still active with its monks and also people using it for normal church services but also baptisms and weddings!

At the end of your day, you will return to your Athens accommodation or even airport.

Depending on the schedule and time of year, you can arrange to include add-on experiences in your itinerary, including:

[1] Visit the seaside town of Galaxidi which is 30 minutes away from the Delphi site.

This will add an extra 90 minutes to your trip and can optionally include swimming


[2] Visit a local olive oil production unit [availability from September to January]


[3] Winery visit & wine tasting wine people

Please contact us for details and pricing. Not all add-ons can be included in all tours either because of time limitations (daylight time, closing times of sites) or because of the time of the year, etc. Some add-ons require an earlier starting time than the typical 8:00 a.m. pick-up.

There are two alternatives instead of just visiting Delphi and these are;

☼ 2-Day Delphi & Meteora

This tour combines Meteora monasteries using  Delphi as the stepping stone with one night stay right next to the famous Meteora rocks.

This tour will give you a chance of visiting the monasteries on both days; the evening of day1 and the morning of day2 for lots of photos! It will be a more relaxed tour and as always, multiday tours save you the trouble/time to drive in and out of the traffic of the big city, plus enjoying real Greece which is its countryside!

eudaimonia

‘Eudaimonia’ is the trading name of Eudaimonia Private Tours of Greece, a tour provider officially registered under the Greek National Tourism Organization with business license number: 1245E70000044101. The ‘client’ or ‘customer’ is the person or persons who have made a confirmed booking with Eudaimonia.

CANCELLATION POLICY FOR TOURS AND SERVICES

(A) Cancellation Policy for the day or half-day tours or transfers:

☼ Cancellations made greater than 40 days prior to the scheduled tour date will be fully refunded minus expenses and/or services fees.

☼ Cancellations made between 30 to 40 days prior to the scheduled tour date will be refunded 80% of the agreed total tour fee.

☼ Cancellations made between 20 to 5 days prior to the scheduled tour date will be refunded 50% of the agreed total tour fee.

☼ Cancellations made 5 days prior to the scheduled tour date will incur a 100% charge.

Additionally to the above but after the 40-day full refund period, all of Eudaimonia’s expenses agreed upon through the email exchange of communication concerning the day or half-day tours or transfers, such as site tickets or train tickets or bookings for the client (train/ boat tickets, wine tasting, restaurants, etc) will be deducted from the amount to be refunded.

Finally, a service fee of 8% (of the total amount agreed) will also be deducted from any refundable amount including the 40-day full refund case. This corresponds to the time spent on the client’s booking.

(B) Cancellation Policy for multi-day tours:

☼ Cancellations made greater than 60 days prior to the scheduled tour date will be fully refunded minus expenses and/or services fees as mentioned below.

☼ Cancellations made between 60 to 30 days prior to the scheduled tour date will be refunded 80% of the agreed total tour fee minus expenses and/or services fees.

☼ Cancellations made between 30 to 20 days prior to the scheduled tour date will be refunded 50% of the agreed total tour fee minus expenses and/or services fees.

☼ Cancellations made 20 days prior to the scheduled tour date will incur a 100% charge.

Additionally to the above but after the 60-day full refund period, all of Eudaimonia’s expenses agreed upon through the email exchange of communication concerning any multiday tour, such as site tickets, train tickets, hotels booked for the client, and other bookings (like wine tasting, restaurants, etc), will be deducted from any amount to be refunded after the initial 60-day full refund period. This will be an amount of 25%-30% of the total tour cost.

Finally, a service fee of 15% of the total amount agreed will also be deducted from any refundable amount including the 60-day full refund case. This corresponds to the time spent on the client’s booking.

(C) Special client-specific arrangements/agreements:

It is possible that there will be client-specific payments & bookings (full or partial) agreed upon through e-mail communication mentioned -for example- as “non-refundable”. Then, these client-specific agreements will precede any other interpretations made from this cancellation policy, and it is only at Eudaimonia’s discretion to refund fully, partly, or not at all, even under certain conditions including “Force Majeure”. Therefore, it is the specific written (email) agreement between each client and Eudaimonia that can only precede this main cancellation policy -if it is different- and determines the agreed cancellation policy for each client.

D) Other issues:

Eudaimonia reserves the right to make subtle changes to tour itineraries. Eudaimonia reserves the right to substitute vehicles and/or drivers should they arise. Eudaimonia reserves the right to change or cancel your booking in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. Should change and/or cancellation prove necessary we will give you reasonable notice thereof, in the circumstances, & where available, offer you a comparable alternative. If an alternative is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a full refund or monies paid by you to us or you can transfer to another Eudaimonia tour without payment of any transfer fee.

Eudaimonia encourages all clients to communicate as early as possible concerning cancellation issues which can allow the agency to offer a better refund – partial or full- to a client despite the standard policy described in this document. This is a decision to be made entirely by Eudaimonia in an effort to better serve the client.

Eudaimonia itineraries are flexible, and if possible, the requirements of clients will be facilitated.  Eudaimonia reserves the right to vary, modify or cancel any itinerary, either partly or wholly.  Itineraries published are sample itineraries only and may be amended without notice. Eudaimonia also reserves the right to use alternative vehicles to those advertised.

Eudaimonia is not responsible for the costs of any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations or rescheduling of any tour departure.

Dietary requirements must be requested from clients and forwarded at the time of booking or at least one week before the tour.

Bookings can only be used by the client/s to whom the booking was initially arranged; no other person can use the booking in any circumstances.

The client may also be asked to produce a valid photo or/and passport number identification.

Eudaimonia strongly recommends that the client purchases travel insurance.

VALIDITY & DISPUTES

Any disputes will be resolved by the Greek legal system and its laws without the need for any arbitration.

The Client agrees to all the above when booking any of Eudaimonia’s tours and services.
