Most participants fly into Athens International Airport (ATH) in Greece. It’s the main international gateway for Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. From the airport it’s an easy train ride into Athens or you can Uber. From there you will continue to Delphi; information below.

By bus: The most affordable way is to take a public KTEL bus from the Liosion Bus Station in Athens to Delphi. The journey takes around 3 hours and tickets cost roughly €13–€16 each way.

By rental car: Driving yourself offers flexibility and comfort. Delphi is about 180 km / ~2.5–3 hours from Athens by car, with scenic countryside views along the way.

By taxi or private transfer: A private transfer or taxi directly from Athens to Delphi typically takes around 2.5–3 hoursand costs more than public transport (reflecting private service + distance).

Greece is part of the Schengen Area. Many travellers (including citizens of the US, UK, Canada, NZ, Australia, EU, and several others) can visit Greece visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. If you’re from a country that does require one, you’ll need a Schengen visa before arrival. Check your country’s requirements well in advance.

Here’s a quick suggested packing list for Delphi in summer:

Clothing & comfort

• Breathable, movement-friendly clothing for morning and evening practices

• A warmer layer or shawl (Delphi sits at higher elevation so evenings can be cooler)

• Comfortable walking shoes for site visits

• Sturdy shoes suitable for hiking and exploring Corycian Cave

• Swimmers — Delphi is close to the sea (about 10–15 km as the crow flies to the Gulf of Corinth) and there are lovely coastal spots nearby.

Sun & heat essentials

• Sunscreen

• Hat + sunglasses

• Water bottle (you’ll be out in the sun and mountain air)

For practices

• Yoga / movement clothes

• Journal + pen

• Layers for early cool mornings / shaded afternoons

Brunch is included in your retreat cost each day, so you’ll have great meals to start your days.
Dinners are not included so you can experience local Greek cuisine in the village — the food is delicious and generally affordable. Traditional tavernas, Greek salads, fresh seafood, mezze, and local wine are all wonderful. Packing a nice dinner outfit or dress is a lovely idea for evening meals out.

Greece in summer is warm to hot, especially on the coast — but Delphi’s higher elevation makes the climate pleasantly cooler, especially in mornings and evenings. Lightweight clothes for the day plus a warmer layer for night will keep you comfortable.

Delphi sits on the slopes of Mount Parnassus overlooking the Gulf of Corinth, and the sea is only about 10–15 km away as the crow flies, so seaside day trips and swims are totally possible.

Most activities, site visits, and practices are arranged locally with short walks or group transport where needed. Your accommodation (V Hotel Delphi) is about a 10-minute walk to the archaeological site and village centre.
