Discover the Heart of Ancient Greece
Delphi is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece, located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus overlooking the valley of Phocis. In ancient times, Delphi was known as the center of the world — the spiritual point where heaven and earth met. Pilgrims came from across Greece seeking answers from the Oracle of Apollo, whose prophecies influenced kings, generals, and citizens for more than a thousand years.
Today, Delphi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most visited historical destinations in Greece. Its ruins, museum treasures, and dramatic mountain scenery offer a unique journey into history, mythology, and culture.
History of Delphi
Delphi originated as a sanctuary dedicated to Apollo, god of music, prophecy, and healing. The site flourished during the Archaic and Classical periods (6th–4th century BC), when city-states built treasuries, temples, and monuments to honour the god and celebrate their victories.
The Oracle of Delphi — a priestess known as the Pythia — was believed to communicate Apollo’s voice. Her words shaped political and military decisions and made Delphi one of the most respected religious centers in the ancient world.
Under Roman rule, Delphi remained influential, though earthquakes and time eventually led to the decline of the sanctuary. Excavations began in the late 19th century, uncovering temples, statues, inscriptions, and artefacts that brought Delphi back to life.
What to See at Delphi
Temple of Apollo
The iconic temple stands at the heart of the sanctuary. Although only a few columns remain, the scale and atmosphere of the site are unforgettable.
Athenian Treasury
Built by the Athenians to honour their military victories, this beautifully restored building showcases classical Greek architecture.
The Theatre
Located above the temple, the theatre offers panoramic views and once hosted musical and dramatic competitions.
The Stadium
At the top of the site, visitors find the stadium, where athletic games were held in honour of Apollo.
The Museum of Delphi
The museum displays incredible artefacts, including the famous bronze Charioteer statue and many other works discovered during excavations.
Natural Beauty & Landscape
The setting of Delphi is just as extraordinary as its history, with towering mountains, deep valleys, and spectacular views across the olive-grove landscape.
Many visitors combine the archaeological site with a stop in the nearby mountain village of Arachova for local food, shopping, and scenery.
