Delphi, Ancient sanctuary and archaeological site on Mount Parnassus, Greece

The Sanctuary of Apollo includes grand temples, theaters, treasuries, and stone monuments spread across multiple terraces at 570 meters elevation.

From 800 BCE to 400 CE, the Temple of Apollo housed the Oracle of Delphi, where Pythia delivered predictions for kings and citizens.

The Pythian Games, held every four years at Delphi, gathered athletes and artists from Greek cities for competitions in sports, music, and poetry.

The archaeological site opens daily from 8:00 to 18:00, with entrance tickets including access to both the ruins and museum collections.

The Omphalos stone marks the exact location ancient Greeks considered the center of the world, where Zeus's two eagles intersected their flight.
