Delphi Tours & Tickets

Delphi was considered the centre of the world in ancient Greece, marked by the sacred omphalos (navel) stone still visible at the site.

The Oracle of Delphi, priestess of Apollo, gave cryptic prophecies that influenced major decisions by Greek city-states and kings for over 1,000 years.

Delphi sits 1,800 feet above sea level on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, offering dramatic views across the Corinthian Gulf and olive groves below.

The famous maxim 'Know Thyself' was inscribed on Apollo's temple at Delphi, becoming central to ancient Greek philosophy.

Delphi's archaeological museum houses the striking bronze Charioteer statue from 475 BCE, one of the finest surviving works of ancient Greek sculpture.

The site was buried under landslides for centuries and only systematically excavated by French archaeologists starting in 1892.
