5Athens to Delphi via the Gulf of Corinth
Starting in Athens, this road trip is ideal for combining ancient history with stunning landscapes. Leave the capital and follow the coastal route along the Gulf of Corinth, passing charming towns like Nafpaktos with its Venetian castle.
Autumn is the perfect time to explore Delphi, one of Greece’s most iconic archaeological sites, without the sweltering summer sun. The surrounding slopes glow in autumnal colors, and the cooler temperatures make walking through the Temple of Apollo, the theater, and the ancient stadium much more comfortable. Along the way, stop at local tavernas to sample regional dishes and taste wines from vineyards near the Gulf.
