Bus from Delphi to Monastery of Osios Loukas?
 

Hi,

Is it possible to take a bus from Delphi to Monastery of Osios Loukas? How long does it take? Any info on this would be appreciated! :)

aqua14, it's an easy distance, seems like less than 90 minutes, from the monastery to Delphi. (I'm remembering from a few yrs. ago.) We didn't take a bus, but hired a fellow on staff at our hotel in Athens, and he took us to Osias Loukas, drove us through a pretty town (Arachova, I think), and to Delphi, then back to Athens the same day. We should have taken more time.

I take it you're staying around Delphi--the ruins and the monastery are worth a couple of days between them, easily.

Yes, we are staying in Delphi for a few days and would like to take a side trip to Osios Loukas. I just can't find public transportation information on the web...

From Delphi, you can take the Livadia/Athens bus as far as the Distomo crossing (€2.20, 35 minutes, hourly), then walk 2km to the town of Distomo. Without your own transport, you can also reach the monastery by taking a taxi from Distomo (€24 return), Livadia (€25 return) or Delphi (€35 return); in all cases, the taxi will wait one hour at the monastery.

Sorry, should have added that the above info was found at:

Or you could try in Delphi what we did in Athens--we just asked at the front desk, and wound up hiring one of the doormen to drive us on his day off. He was a good driver, but I guess that was luck of the draw.
