Attraction Information
Delphi (Delfí)
According to Greek mythology, Delphi stands at the point where two eagles, released to the east and west by the god Zeus, met, thus marking the centre of the world. Soaring high above the Gulf of Corinth, on Mount Parnassos, it has long been home to the sanctuary of Apollo and the seat of his oracle. Perhaps the best known of Delphi's ancient inhabitants, dating from the second millennium BC, the oracle's predictions affected matters as grand as those of warfare. Today, the ancient site lies in ruins, although visitors still come in their thousands to see the remains. The Delphi Museum, which was built in 1903, exhibits various statues and offerings from the sanctuary of Delphi.
