Highlights

Delphi is renowned for its powerful oracle, where the Pythia, the priestess of Apollo, would deliver prophecies. It was also the site of the omphalos, the ‘navel of the world,’ where, according to myth, Zeus’s sacred eagles met to mark the center of the world. Explore the Temple of Apollo, the ancient Theater of Dionysos, the treasuries of the Greek city-states, and the best-preserved ancient Greek stadium, which hosted the famous Pythian Games every four years. With its breathtaking landscape and profound sacred significance, Delphi was indeed the religious center and symbol of unity in the ancient Greek world.
