2Delphi – The Navel of the World

Delphi was once considered the center of the world, marked by the sacred stone known as the Omphalos. It was home to the famous Oracle of Apollo, where priestesses called the Pythia delivered cryptic prophecies that guided kings, generals, and ordinary Greeks.

The myths surrounding Apollo’s slaying of the serpent Python add to its aura of divine power. Today, visitors can explore the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, and the stadium, all nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus with breathtaking views.
