Pro tips to help you make a pick

A lot of the significance and history of the place can be lost on you without a guided tour. Your guide will enrich your trip with mythical stories and trivia that cannot be found anywhere else. If you can’t, at least be sure to get an audio guide.

Travel during weekdays and early in the morning to avoid crowds and the midday heat during summer. You could also consider off-season travel from November to February and club them with winter activities like skiing. And when you visit, climb up the highest tiers of the theater before it gets too sunny, for incredible views of the ruins and mountains.

Please note that the Delphi Archaeological Site and Museum are closed on January 1st, March 25, May 1st, Easter Sunday, December 25, and December 26. Their opening hours might vary with the season, so look it up before visiting. Don't throw away your ticket, as they usually include admission to the museum and the archeological site.

Exploring Delphi means quite a bit of walking on hilly and rugged terrain, so wear comfortable walking shoes and lightweight clothing. If you are traveling in summer, carry sunscreen and hats and stay hydrated.

Club your visit to the Archaeological Site and Museum, with the Museum of Delphi Festivals, European Cultural Center of Delphi, and a visit to the modern town of Delphi. You can shop for artisanal products in Arachova and explore Galaxidi for some coastal fun. You could also engage in adventure activities like hiking, paragliding, and skiing when you visit Delphi.

About Delphi Archaeological Site

The ancient city of Delphi rests on the hillside of Mount Parnassus. The Archaeological Site of Delphi and the Museum are a UNESCO World Heritage Site today, that draws plenty of mythology, history, and nature lovers. Step back in time as you wander amidst the ruins of Delphi, where people once gathered from far and beyond to listen to the Oracle of Delphi - the spokesperson of Apollo and to witness the Pythian Games.

Did you know?

In mythology, Delphi was considered the center or omphalos of the Earth, representing the point where two eagles, sent by Zeus from opposite ends of the world, met. As the myth goes, the wilderness of Delphi was chosen by Apollo as a spot to communicate with mortals. He slayed the evil serpent Python, who guarded Delphi and established a temple and oracle at Delphi.

Along with the sanctuary of Apollo, Delphi also has a sanctuary of Athena, which contains the Tholos of Athena Pronaia. The Tholos is a circular building, characterized by its distinctive architecture with a central circular structure and surrounding columns. One of the most photographed spots in Delphi, its purpose remains unknown to this day.

The ancient Temple of Apollo at Delphi was a center for worship. The temple was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, with the existing ruins dating back to the 4th century BCE. It was the seat of the Oracle of Delphi or Pythia who channelled the god Apollo. It is said that the most important decisions in the Greek world were made upon consultation with the oracle at the Temple of Apollo.

Akin to the Olympics, Delphi hosted the Pythian Games every four years, featuring athletic competitions, music, and drama. Participants and spectators thronged to Delphi and occupied the 6500-seater stadium and 5000-seater theater to watch the Games, in which, it is said, even Emperor Nero once participated.

The Sacred Way that leads to the Temple of Apollo was originally lined with treasuries, constructed by Greek city-states to house offerings and ex-voto dedicated to Apollo and battle victories. Parts of these treasury buildings remain like the Corinthian Treasury, Siphnian Treasury, Athenian Treasury, Treasury of the Massaliots, and the Theban Treasury.

Why visit Delphi Archaeological Site?

Journey back in time

Delphi was believed to be the center of the world by ancient Grecians. Closely linked to the god Apollo, it was a pilgrimage center where people flocked to seek advice from the famous Oracle of Delphi. The ruins of this incredible city have been unearthed at the archeological site. Wander and wonder at the Temple of Apollo, the theatre and stadium, the treasuries, and the tholos of Athena at Delphi.

Invaluable museum treasures

The Delphi Archaeological Museum displays the impressive sculptures, art, and artifacts found at the site, which point to the wealthy status and vibrant cultural and artistic heritage of Delphi. Don’t miss out on the bronze Charioteer of Delphi, the Sphinx of Naxos, the Statue of Antinoos, the two Kouros, the Dancers of Delphi, and the friezes of the Siphnian Treasury. 

Fascinating mythical tales

In Delphi, fans of Greek mythology can paint a perfect backdrop to the mythical stories they’ve heard. The Oracle of Delphi is a powerful figure in myth and one who had an immense influence on the turn of events in the Greek world. It is hard to miss the ancient air of Delphi, where many stories and myths, which conquered our imagination for centuries, reside.

Legacy of the Pythian Games

The second most famous games, the Pythian Games were conducted once every four years at Delphi from 586 BCE. The stadium and theater hosted athletic, musical, and artistic competitions which drew crowds from far and beyond. Much of the ancient stadium, which could hold 6500 people, and the theater, with a capacity of 5000 people, stand tall today as a testimony to the artistic heritage of ancient Greeks.

Capture breathtaking scenery

Nature didn’t hold back its beauty in Delphi where art, culture, and history thrived. Perched on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, the Delphi Archaeological Site has stunning panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The view from the top of the theater with the ancient city nestled in the bosom of nature is one to behold!

Highlights

Archaeological Museum of Delphi

Incredible treasures and artifacts of a bygone era are carefully recovered from the archeological site and displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Delphi. Of these, be sure to see the Charioteer of Delphi, a remarkable bronze statue that exemplifies ancient Greek artistic skill and craftsmanship, the Sphinx of Naxos, a monumental marble statue, and a lot more.

Temple of Apollo

The very heart of Delphi and the reason for its immense popularity in the ancient world is the Temple of Apollo and its priestess, the Oracle of Delphi. Catch up on its incredible history, the fascinating process of the Oracle making pronouncements, and the myths that rule our imaginations, as you wander through its ruins.

Athena Pronaia

The sanctuary of Athena exudes an ancient aura and remains a mystery to archeologists for they still do not know its purpose. Pronaia means ‘before the temple’. Check out the Tholos, a circular building with an intriguing architectural design found in Athena Pronaia, and take out your cameras for this place makes for incredible pictures.

Delphi stadium and theater

The ancient theater and stadium of Delphi were built for the Pythian Games and various festivals. The theater is nestled in the hillside and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The Delphi stadium is almost entirely intact to this very day. 

Treasury buildings

The Sacred Way that pilgrims took to reach the Temple of Apollo was once adorned with intricately carved treasury buildings, constructed by various ancient Greek city-states to store offerings and gifts dedicated to Apollo. Check out the remains of some of these buildings, especially, the Treasury of Athenians. 

Castalian Spring

A little further from the Athena Pronaia lies the Castalian Spring, where the Pythia washed before the prophecy-giving ceremony. The pilgrims to the temple also washed and drank from this spring. This sacred spring of Delphi was deemed the source of poetic inspiration by Roman poets.

We had a wonderful day in Delphi with our guide Alexandra, who was incredibly kind! She gave great explanations, and the audio guide was very informative, featuring 3D reconstructions that really brought the site to life! We then stopped at a typical Greek tavern. The scenery was magnificent, and the bus was comfortable.

A wonderful experience! We chose this tour because we wanted to visit Delphi without the hassle of logistics, but also without having to stay in a group for a heavy guided tour. The package is great: travel in a comfortable bus with some explanations, then left to explore this magnificent site on your own with audio guides (the timing was perfect, neither too short nor too long). Before heading back, we had lunch overlooking an incredible view of the valley. Our guide Valisis was cheerful and helpful throughout the day. Thank you!

I liked the guide's explanations on the way too and back, the historical background: very understandable. The audio guide was technically frustrating, badly configured, color code and layout counter-intuitive. I'm still not sure it was geo-located. It made me listen over and over again to the introduction until I pushed the right button.

This was a superb tour - very well organised in terms of timing - both at the Delphi Museum and the temple ruins as well as the late lunch stop at the beautiful village of Arachova. The highlight was the tour guide, Vangelis, a former history teacher who communicated his wide knowledge in fascinating vignettes on all sorts of subjects. Totally recommend!
