DELPHI GREECE Short Walk Arround The Town

The town of Delphi with a population of 1500 inhabitants, is located at an altitude of 550 meters on the west of mount Parnassos in the prefecture of Fokida. It is the center of global cultural interest and attracts thousands of visitors every year. Delphi was moved to its current location in 1893 when archaeological excavations began. The archeological site of Delphi is located in an imposing natural landscape between two large rocks, Phaedriades. The landscape is calm and it is no coincidence that for many centuries it was a religious and spiritual center as well as a symbol of unity. Delphi has been inhabited since prehistoric times and has great historical significance.

For many centuries it was the spiritual and religious center and symbol of the unity of ancient Hellenism. In antiquity Delphi was considered the center of the whole world. According to Greek mythology, the two eagles sent by god Zeus from the ends of the universe to find the center of the world met in Delphi. Pilgrims from all over the world hurried to honour the god Apollo and consult Pythia with her oracles. Delphi became a symbol of brotherhood and peaceful coexistence of people with the well-known institution of Amfiktionia.

The first finds dating from the Neolithic era (4000 BC) were found in the cave of Korykeio Andro in mount Parnassos as well as ruins of a Mycenaean settlement and a cemetery near the sanctuary. The famous oracle of Delphi flourished between the 6th and the 4th century BC and its fame reached the ends of the world at that time. The first stone temples were built, one dedicated to god Apollo and the other to goddess Athena. Other gods such as Dionysus, Poseidon, Hermes, Artemis were worshiped in Delphi.

Today, the town of Delphi has to offer a high quality level of hospitality and excellent tourist infrastructure with many hotels, rooms to let, hostels as well as restaurants, taverns, bars where you can enjoy your food or drink in combination with a magnificent view of the Peloponnese coast across the bay of Korinthiakos.
