What to expect

  1. Temple of Apollo

    Arrive in Delphi, and visit the famous theatre, where you will enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, and get an insight into the world of the Ancient Greeks. Visit the Temple of Apollo, the center of Ancient Greece, and best-known for its famous oracle. The Oracle of Delphi was ancient Greece's most important religious sanctuary, dedicated to Apollo, where the priestess Pythia delivered cryptic prophecies from the Temple of Apollo on Mount Parnassus, influencing major political and personal decisions across the ancient world for centuries. Regarded as the "omphalos" (navel of the world), its pronouncements, often ambiguous and interpreted by supplicants, guided everything from war to colonization, solidifying Delphi as a center for spiritual and intellectual life until its decline with the rise of Christianity.
  2. Delphi Archaeological Museum
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    Tour the Museum of Delphi, home to a unique bronze Charioteer, the Naxian Sphinx, and the Statue of Antinoos, providing an amazing insight into Ancient Greek culture and history. Visit Athena Pronaia Sanctuary, the most photographed spot in Delphi and take unique photos.
