A day dedicated to exploring the UNESCO world heritage site of Delphi. Rich in Mythology & history and center of the ancient Greek world as designated by Zeus, Delphi was also famed through its Oracle, home to the god and Temple of Apollo, and through its Pythian games, a forerunner of the modern Olympics. The importance of the site extended both long before the classic Greece period & also past it when Roman emperors protected the site and continued to send delegations to seek the oracle's advice until the third century AD. During your visit you will see the physical structures remaining with this incredibly long history, and learn about their rich mythology. You will also have plenty of time to visit the impressive museum to see its many artifacts from as far back as the 15th century BC.
