Delphi was the center of the world in ancient Greece and the station of the famed Oracle. It was built on the spot marked by the omphalos (navel) where the eagles of Zeus flew to meet. Now it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Delphi’s well-preserved ruins reflect its importance in the ancient world. Modern Delphi is adjacent to the archaeological site between Livadeia and Amfissa. The town has narrow thoroughfares and terraced streets and buildings offering views of the valley. You can stay comfortably in Delphi after excursions to the sanctuary of the high priestess Pythia and taking the Sacred Way to the Temple of Apollo. The town is also favored by hikers smitten by the trails on the foot and slopes of Mt. Parnassos. While planning your travels to the peninsula, read about the best hotels to stay in Delphi, Greece.
