Delphi Walking Tour
Delphi, Greece
Why Walk Delphi
Delphi was the most important oracle in the ancient Greek world. The sanctuary of Apollo clings to the slopes of Mount Parnassus above the Pleistos Valley, with the Sacred Way climbing past treasuries and monuments to the Temple of Apollo where the Pythia delivered her prophecies. The Greeks considered Delphi the omphalos — the navel of the world. The archaeological museum houses the famous Charioteer of Delphi and other treasures.

Walking Tip
The site climbs steeply — start at the museum, then walk up through the sanctuary. Allow 2-3 hours for the full site. The Tholos is a separate area below the main site.
Best Time to Visit
March through May and September through November. Summer is very hot on the exposed mountainside. Early morning visits avoid both heat and crowds.
