  Amenities for the physically challenged
People with restricted mobility may visit the Archaeological Site of Delphi, up to level of the Temple of Apollo, free of charge via special vehicle, and after informing the Ephorate of Antiquities of Phocis at least seven days prior to the visit (tel.: 2265082312, email: efafok@culture.gr). Due to the steep slope of the archaeological site, only a partial tour is possible. In order to take the tour, the interested party must meet the driver of the GOLFCART type vehicle at the entrance of the Sikelianos Museum. The visitor sits in the seat of the vehicle and participates in the tour at his/her own responsibility. The GOLFCART type vehicle does not have special equipment or infrastructure for the transport of people who use a non-folding (fixed) wheelchair.
The Ephorate of Antiquities does not bear criminal or civil liability for any accident that may occur. In the case of minors, the responsibility lies with the escorting party and with a specific declaration signed by him or her. The Sikelianos Museum is accessible only by private vehicle.
In addition, the use of the vehicle depends on weather conditions and on any works that may be taking place in the area.

PRESS RELEASE
In the context of reorganizing the Archaeological Site, as Hellenic Organization of Cultural Resources Development (H.O.C.RE.D) proceeds with the installation of a New Museum Shop and a New Ticket Office, we apologize for the inconvenience. In this context, we inform you that from the 1st of May, ticket cancellation will take place at the Archaeological Site, but ticket issuance will take place at the ticket office of the Archaeological Museum, as well as at the temporary kiosk of the Hellenic Organization of Cultural Resources Development (H.O.C.RE.D) in the courtyard of the Museum.

PARKING
We inform you that parking spaces for private vehicles are limited outside the Delphi Archaeological Museum, where there is relevant signage by the Traffic Police. Alternative parking options are available at a greater distance.
We recommend contacting your campsite/hotel manager or the local authorities (municipality, police) in advance to obtain practical information about temporary parking in the wider area.

VISIT DURING THE SUMMER PERIOD
Although water is provided for visitors, they should ensure that they bring their own cool drinking water. It is also necessary to wear light-colored clothing that covers the limbs, as well as a hat, for a comfortable and pleasant visit.

PRESS RELEASE
The Ephorate of Antiquities of Phocis informs you that the Castle of Amfissa, an accessible - without visitor services - archaeological site, after the installation of a fence for the protection of the monument against vandalism and uncontrolled animal grazing, will be open to the public every Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. In addition, school visits are allowed with prior appointment and according to instructions that will be provided to accompanying teachers.
