Inclusions

Itinerary

1. The excavation site rests on the southwestern slope of Mount Parnassus. In ancient Greek religion, it was considered the center of the world and the seat of Pythia, the major oracle. The Sacred Way leads visitors up the hill past the remains of the Athenian Treasury to the Temple of Apollo, where the oracle delivered prophecies. Further up the slope lies the ancient theater, which could seat 5000 spectators, and the stadium used for the Pythian Games. Below the main site is the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, famous for the Tholos, a circular structure with Doric columns.

The permanent exhibition covers the history of the Delphic sanctuary from the 8th century BC to its decline in Late Antiquity. Prominent exhibits include the Charioteer of Delphi, a rare surviving bronze statue from ancient Greece. Other significant artifacts are the Sphinx of Naxos, the twin kouroi statues known as Kleobis and Biton, and parts of the frieze from the Siphnian Treasury.

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
