DELPHI

Greeks could not have chosen a better place to build the most important religious center of ancient Greece. At the feet of Mount Parnassus, overlooking the Corinthian Gulf and a river gorge filled with mist, this is the perfect site to get spiritual. For 4 centuries, it was visited by thousands of people, in search for answers from its Oracle. Even Alexander the Great, before his conquests, went there. Seated on a rock, Pythia, the highest priestess, would inhale vapors

from a crack on the ground, through which Apollo himself would speak to her in the form of predictions. See the temples, the houses that kept the treasures offered by armies and leaders,

the theater, the stadium, even the “omphalos”, the stone dropped by Zeus at the exact point where two golden eagles met, marking the center of the world, after he released them

from the extremes of the universe. Key events that influenced the progress of civilization

are related to this site, impregnated with history, myths and natural beauty.
