Delphi trip planner

Ancient Greeks revered Delphi as the center of their universe, building an impressive sanctuary to Apollo in order to mark this sacred spot. Today the small town and its eponymous archaeological site, inscribed on the World Heritage List, top the itinerary of most visitors to this part of Greece. Sightseers come here by the thousands to admire the mastery of ancient Greek architects who constructed a vast complex that once included a temple, stadium, hippodrome, theater, and gymnasium. Despite the constant flow of tour buses, the modern village of Delphi retains much of its unspoiled look and feel, providing a good base for hiking trips to nearby Mount Parnassus.
