Delphi worth the $$$?
We have been quoted between 220 and 280 euros for a private taxi tour to Delphi. My wife and I would rather not take the large group tours (and deal with gift shops, etc) Is Delphi worth the day, and price??
Or: are any other Fodorites going to be in Athens Sept 29 or 30 and want to split the cost of a tour?

Delphi is very much worth visiting. Try not to miss it! But you can so easily get there yourself by public transportation that a private taxi tour should not be necessary. I haven't been there in a long time, but I do remember that I went by public transportation from Athens.

Yes Yes Yes, it is worth the visit. I was there 25 years ago yet I still remember the feeling of spirituality that was present, and I don't mean Christianity. It just seemed like it had been a "holy" place for a very long time. I loved it.

There are escorted tours from Athens a whole lot less than 220 euros - bus tours - anyway Delphi is one of the most fascinating, most gorgeous places i've ever seen in Europe - consult the Oracle and see what she says - i bet she says go for it!
