Delphi is a place of great historical significance, dating back to ancient Greece. The city was built adjacent to the archaeological site, where the most important sanctuary and oracle of the classical world was located. Delphi was considered one of the most significant cities in the country and had a profound impact during ancient times. Today, it remains a popular tourist destination and is the second most visited attraction in Greece. Delphi is also listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, showcasing a unique blend of natural beauty, energy, and mystery that has captivated visitors for centuries.
Tour of the Temple of Apollo Embark on a journey through time with Ianus VIP Transfers and explore the magnificent Temple of Apollo in Delphi. As you step into the temple, you will be immersed in the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece. Legend has it that the temple was built on the spot where Apollo slayed the Python and became the center of the world, as marked by the Omphalos of the earth. Dating back to the 7th century BC, the temple has undergone numerous rebuilds and renovations in antiquity. Though mostly in ruins now, the temple's majestic Doric columns still stand as a testament to its former glory. Join us on this exclusive tour and experience the breathtaking grandeur of the Temple of Apollo.
Delphi was a cultural hub and home to the Pythian Games, a major athletic competition in ancient Greece. These games, second only to the Olympic Games, brought together athletes from all over the Hellenic world to compete in various disciplines. The ancient Delphic stadium still stands today and serves as a testament to the city's rich history. In addition to the games, Delphi was famous for its oracle, where people from far and wide would seek the counsel of the priestess Pythia. Believed to be the voice of the god Apollo, Pythia would enter a trance-like state and provide answers to important questions, though her oracles were often cryptic and open to interpretation. Delphi's influence extended far beyond the ancient world and the site remains a cherished piece of Greece's cultural heritage.
