    The hike first goes level along a water channel and offers very beautiful views of two valleys, the local olive groves, and the surrounding mountains. The second part of the route is steeper and ascends along the E4. The entire path is very quiet and free of litter along the way.

    Author’s recommendation

    If you start around 9:00 a.m., you will be ahead of most tour groups in the museum.

    Safety information

    No fear of heights is necessary for this short hike. Only children should be supervised near the water channel, which is always separated from the path by a low wall.

    Roadbook

    The hike starts opposite the campsite. At first, you walk along a water channel with a very beautiful view. Then you turn left onto the E4, which here is called "Ancient Path Delphi Kirra" (see corresponding picture). On the further ascending section, the path is clearly marked with a black circle on a yellow background. Upon reaching the town of Delphi, you walk another 15 minutes along the road on a nice sidewalk to the museum and excavation sites. The return route follows the same path.
