5Delphi – The Navel of the Ancient World
Long before GPS, travelers sought guidance from the oracle of Delphi, believed to be the center—or “navel”—of the ancient world. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Delphi was once the most important religious site in ancient Greece, where kings and warriors came to seek prophecies from Apollo’s priestess.
The ruins are hauntingly beautiful: the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theatre, and the stadium that once hosted the Pythian Games. Surrounded by olive groves and overlooking the Gulf of Corinth, Delphi exudes an energy that’s both historical and spiritual.
A visit here is more than sightseeing—it’s a conversation with history, where myth and landscape merge into timeless harmony.
