Athina Trip Overview
Delphi is an UNESCO World Heritage site. In antiquity, Delphi was considered to be the Center of the World and this concept was symbolically represented by a marble-carved stone monument called “omphalos”, which means navel. Therefore, Delphi was believed to be the Navel of the Earth.
Delphi also constituted the Sanctuary where the famous Oracle Pythia would give her prophecies regarding important strategic and martial decisions. Pythia exerted considerable influence over the leading figures of the Hellenic world and was essentially the highest authority both civilly and religiously in male-dominated ancient Greece.
Omphalos, the hilltop Monuments, the famous Amphitheater, the Temple of Apollo and of course, the Athena Pronaia Sanctuary have been standing there for more than 2800 years.
Explore some of the most famous sites and monuments of ancient Greece on this day trip to Delphi and let your senses and imagination take you back to this exceptional world.
