    The Archaeological Museum of Delphi, one of the most important in Greece, exhibits the history of the Delphic sanctuary, site of the most famous ancient Greek oracle. Its rich collections are comprised primarily of architectural sculpture, statues and minor objects donated to the sanctuary. These reflect its religious, political and artistic activities from its early years in the eight century BC to its decline in Late Antiquity.

    Visiting the Oracle of Delphi is like stepping into ancient Greece’s spiritual heart. As you walk up the Sacred Way, the majestic Temple of Apollo rises before you, where the Pythia once delivered cryptic prophecies. From there, you move to the ancient Theater of Dionysus, perched on the slope, offering breathtaking views of the valley below. The stone seats echo the voices of ancient performances and rituals. Higher up, the ancient stadium awaits, where athletes once competed in the Pythian Games, honoring Apollo with feats of strength and skill. The air is thick with history and myth at every step.
