Delphi
If you're in Athens, a day trip to Delphi is a worthwhile use of your time, letting you see some Greek countryside and the high mountains, as well as the site itself and charming town. Brief stop at Arachova is a bonus.

Delphi - Two-day Tour
Delphi, with its fine ruins and great shopping, is a personal favorite. Dinner not included. Hint: Get up early in the a.m. and see the site again, alone.

Morning Tour of Athens
Quick tour of the highlights, many sights only seen from the bus, a good general orientation but probably not enough time for the in-depth traveler.

Both these sites are well worth visiting, and a day tour makes it easy to squeeze in.
