Itinerary description
A fresh detailed record to the ancient path ,that Greek people of that time used to cross to reach Delphi and get a prophesy from the oracle Pythia. Kirra at that time was the harbor of Delphi.
The path is very easy to follow, does not require any skills or a guide, has way points, marks and signs, also 2 clean water source's along the way.
*** I suggest to use hiking boots and not running shoes cause the path from Delphi top till village of Chrisso is very rocky and easy to turn an ankle if you get careless.
You can get the Bus or a taxi from Itea city back to Delphi (Taxi costs about 25 euros and ticket for bus 1,90 euros)
enjoy a safe hike!

Εξαιρετική η καταγραφή, οι κατατοπιστικές φωτογραφίες και τα βοηθητικά σχόλια! Ευχαριστούμε θερμά! Γιάννης Κ.
Χαίρομαι που βοήθησα. Είναι πολύ ωραία διαδρομή. Όπως επίσης και η "σκάλα Δελφών" που έχει απίστευτη θέα! Είναι καταγραμμένη και αυτή στο προφίλ μου.
Ευχαριστώ και για αυτή την πρόταση! Εύχομαι κι άλλες πολλές και όμορφες διαδρομές!

Sentier très bien balisé avec plusieurs points d'eau potable. Le point de départ à Delphes n'a pas été facile à trouver. A l'arrivée après la traversée de l'oliveraie les flèches blanches indiquent la route à Itea tandis que le petit panneau jaune "ancient path...." mène bien à Kira. Je l'ait fait aller retour en running très agréable caillouteux ponctuellement. Bonne balade
