About Delphi
Delphi is an ancient sanctuary and modern village on the slopes of Mount Parnassus in central Greece, where the oracle of Apollo once spoke.
Delphi was the most important oracle of the ancient Greek world, dedicated to the god Apollo, and its sanctuary climbs the mountain slope in terraces. Visitors walk the Sacred Way past treasuries built by Greek cities, the ruins of the temple of Apollo, and the theatre and stadium higher up. Lower down the road, the round Tholos at the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia is one of the best-known sights of the site.
