Delphi lies on the way back, to see the tholos in the afternoon light. ## The day, hour by hour 6:15 · Leave Athens. You have to get up early: the walk starts at 9:00.

Book by phone. 15:30 · Agios Nikolaos. Climb to the church of the patron saint of sailors, at the top of the village, for the view over the rooftops and the gulf. 16:30 · The Castalian Spring and the tholos.

Via Arachova; you arrive around 19:45. ## With children or in the rain The walk admits children from eight and is flat.
