Delphi | Where Myth, History, and Nature Meet

High on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, overlooking a sea of olive trees and the glittering waters of the Corinthian Gulf, lies Delphi — one of Greece’s most iconic archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage monument.
Today, visitors to Delphi are transported back to a time when gods walked among mortals, and the words of the Oracle could shape the destiny of entire empires.

The Center of the Ancient World

In Greek mythology, Delphi was considered the “Navel of the Earth” (Omphalos),
the meeting point of two eagles sent by Zeus from opposite ends of the universe.
For centuries, Delphi served as the spiritual and religious heart of the Greek world.
Pilgrims traveled from distant lands to seek guidance from the Oracle of Apollo,
a priestess known as the Pythia, who delivered prophecies inspired by the god.

Delphi was not only a place of worship but also a symbol of unity among the Greek city-states.
Leaders, warriors, and philosophers alike came to consult the Oracle before battles,
founding colonies, or making political decisions.
The prestige of Delphi was so great that it was protected by powerful alliances, and major
sporting events, known as the Pythian Games, were held here every four years.
