Delphi is an ancient city on the slopes of Parnassus, where legend and mountain beauty intertwine. This is a place with a thousand-year history, known as the religious and cultural center of antiquity, where the life of the oracle boiled and pilgrims from all over the Greek world gathered. The unique atmosphere of Delphi combines the harsh mountain nature and traces of great civilizations, and the views of the mountain range and valleys create a memorable image of the city.
The main man-made sights are concentrated in the archaeological complex: the ruins of the Temple of Apollo and the sanctuary where Pythia predicted fate remain the main symbols of Delphi. In the vicinity there are ancient churches and monasteries, including the Monastery of Blessed Luke, located about 37 km from the city and belonging to the XI-XII centuries. Historical monuments, ruins of ancient buildings and exhibits of local museums help to understand the multilayered history of this place.
