Itinerary description

A fresh detailed loop record to Corycian cave, starting from Delphi. Path recorded 23/05/23 solo, and I took my time taking many pictures, viewing plants, spend a lot of time in the cave and also a stop to eat lunch. I believe with a proper faster pace you can make it all and back in about 5 hours time. 90% of the path has marks, signs and ribbons along the way.

Starting from Delphi E4 route and following the "skala" (stairs) up to Kroki area, then inside the forest trail with the red square mark and red/white ribbons till you meet the dirt road. Taking the road right pass the church and to your left the trail to Corycian cave start. Very dense low vegetation till the top. There is the cave. On the way back you can either go left after the church of Agia Triada from the way you first came, or continue the dirt road to the right for a different path via E4 trail like i did in this record.

* (Greek) cellphone services and internet mobile data are available at 65% of this record. (the blind spots with no signal are mostly after the top of "skala" over Delphi and inside the forest of Kroki.)
* Water source only at Picnic area just before church Agia Triada and at church Agia Triada (marked on the map).
