Book Delphi Archaeological Site & Museum Tickets

Weekdays vs weekends: To explore Delphi without the crowds, avoid weekends and visit on weekdays in the morning.

Best time of the year: It’s best to visit Delphi during the off-peak season in April, May, September, and October (spring and autumn). These months see fewer crowds and better weather than the peak season, which falls during the hot Greek summer.

Delphi Archaeological Museum

• The museum is fully accessible by wheelchair, including elevator access and a specially designed wheelchair-accessible route. 
• It has a designated restroom and parking spaces for people with disabilities.
• It also offers pamphlets in Braille for those who are blind or have visual impairments.

Delphi archaeological site

• The archaeological ruins are situated on a hill slope, with various structures located at different levels. The path is steep and uneven, with rocky steps. This makes it difficult for wheelchair users to navigate the site. 
• There is a special vehicle available that takes visitors with mobility issues up to the Temple of Apollo. You need to inform the authorities at least 7 days before your visit to be able to access it.
• Information panels in Braille are located throughout the archaeological site at the different monuments.

Restrooms: Visitor restrooms are available at the Delphi Archaeological Museum, but there are no restrooms at the archaeological site. 

Photography: You’re allowed to take pictures and videos of the ruins at the archaeological site and the exhibits in the museum. However, you’ll need to get permission in advance for commercial photography or videography. 

Audio guides: Most Delphi tickets include audio guides in English. Depending on the ticket you choose, audio guides in other languages, such as French, German, Spanish, and Italian, are also available.

• Your tour of the Delphi ruins will involve a lot of walking on steep paths up and down the hillside. Wear comfortable shoes with a good grip so that you can explore with ease.
• The ruins are spread across an open mountain slope with very little shade. Carry a bottle of water, which you can refill from the water fountain at the ticket booth near the archaeological site. Also carry sun protection.
• If you’re visiting Delphi in the low-season winter months (November to March), arm yourself with an umbrella or a rain jacket as it tends to rain.
• Hotels in Delphi town can easily fill up, particularly in the peak season. Choose to stay at Arachova, located just 20 minutes away, instead. This small ski resort town has plenty of hotels to choose from.

Taverna Vakhos: Enjoy authentic traditional Greek food with magnificent views of the Gulf of Corinth from its windows. Order local favorites like Greek salad, stuffed cabbage leaves, peppers stuffed with feta cheese, lamb chops, baklava, and bread and olive tapenade, at Taverna Vakhos. 

Taverna DION: A highly recommended dining spot, Taverna DION specializes in Greek dishes like spanakopita, moussaka, souvlaki, bifteki gemisto, and pork steak. Apart from its attentive service and friendly staff, this vibrant restaurant is also known for its fantastic local cheeses. 

To Patriko Mas: If you fancy delicious food accompanied by great local wines, head to To Patriko Mas, a Greek Mediterranean restaurant located at the end of Delphi’s main street. Try the fresh bread with tzatziki, traditional spinach pie, slow-cooked venison and noodles, and country lamb, as you enjoy fantastic views of the valley. 

Most restaurants in Delphi offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on their menus as well.
