SightseeingDelphi Museum is dedicated to the promotion of the history and antiquities of Delphi and the promotion of archaeological studies in the region. The permanent exhibition, which houses important objects of the archaeology of Greece, presents a panoramic view of the rich history of Delphi and is divided into three chronological sections: pre-history, ancient Greek civilization, and Byzantine civilization. The exhibition also presents objects from excavations in the region as well as some significant works from other museums that complement the archaeological material.

Le temple d'Apollon, également connu sous le nom d'oracle pythique et de sanctuaire oraculaire dédié à Apollon, se compose de plus de 100 colonnes, le plus grand péristyle dorique jamais construit. L'oracle de Delphes fut établi au VIIe siècle av. J.-C. Les Jeux pythiques y étaient célébrés tous les quatre ans. En 467 av. J.-C., ces jeux furent remplacés par une fête pythique qui se poursuivit chaque année jusqu'à sa fermeture par les autorités chrétiennes en 393 apr. J.-C. Le site resta actif jusqu'au XIIe siècle, date à laquelle il fut pillé par des pirates menés par l'aventurier normand Bohémond III d'Antioche. Le nom « Olympia » dérive du grec ancien « Olympia », qui signifie « Pelvien ». Le site, cependant, ne possédait aucun bâtiment au sens originel. Les divers sports et compétitions athlétiques se déroulaient à l'origine dans l'enceinte d'un stade naturel de la vallée et n'étaient intégrés à aucun bâtiment.

Fondée il y a plus de 2 500 ans, Delphes, ville de renommée mondiale, est un véritable trésor. Dans l'Antiquité, ce joyau culturel et historique était considéré comme le siège de la plupart des grandes institutions religieuses grecques. Son Acropole abritait un important temple dédié à Apollon et était le siège cérémoniel du pouvoir de nombreux oracles importants. Ce célèbre sanctuaire est toujours en activité ; il a accueilli certains de ses visiteurs les plus célèbres, dont Alexandre le Grand, Charles Darwin et Winston Churchill.

Visit the ancient site of Pronaia, dedicated to Athena and one of the most important sanctuaries in Greece. Here, art and architecture come together in a box set into the rock face of a sheer cliff next to the sea . Some of the highlights include the three-story high temple of Athena and a cistern with an important inscription.

In Greek mythology, Castalia took the role of the nymph of prophetic springs. She was a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys and was loved by Apollo. The Castalian Spring, in the ravine between the Phaedriades at Delphi, is where all visitors to Delphi — the contestants in the Pythian Games, and especially pilgrims who came to consult the Delphic Oracle — were required to drink before they could enter the temple. It is in a sacred place, since it was at this spot that Apollo himself appeared to King Croesus of Lydia. The water at the Castalian Spring contains medicinal properties because it is said to be imbued with the breath of Apollo.

The Tholos or Siphnius was an ancient Greek rotunda-shaped temple built in Delphi, Greece, to be the center of the religious and social life of the Sanctuary of Delphi. The name comes from the Greek words "tholos" and "siphnē", meaning, respectively, "round house" and "channel". It is commonly referred to in English as the circular Temple of Delphi. The Tholos was constructed on a steep hillside just outside the walls of ancient Delphi. It consisted of a circular colonnade of twelve columns that formed an open ring around a raised, circular "naos" (or "cella"), which was almost completely encircled by a wide, shallow steps.

The theatre at Delphi has been restored and is now open to the public, providing a unique experience for visitors. The theatre was built higher up the hill from the Temple of Apollo providing a view of both the sanctuary and valley below. It was built to order by Pythagoras who also established its design in accordance to his theory of harmony. The theatre was dedicated to "Apollo Delphinios" or Apollo the Dolphin. It was most likely built in honor of Pythagoras's victory over the tyrant Neoptolemus at Olympia in 478 BC. The ancient Greeks performed ritual sacrifices on the top of the theatre, with the remains of animals and offerings inscribed on a stone on the summit.

The Delphi Stoa is one of the most famous structures in ancient Greece. It was built by Iktinos, an Athenian architect and engineer, around 470 BC. The stoa opened to the Sacred Way, a road that led to the treasury of the Athenians. As a result, it became a meeting place for people from all over Greece and beyond.

The Ancient Greek city of Delphi is home to the Temple of Apollo, the site of one of the first stadiums in history. The Old Stadium was built in 588 BC and is still a gem you should not miss on your trip to Greece. The stadium was initially built by the Greeks to host games of the Pythian Games and it is surrounded by three tiers of seating. One of the most famous events at this ancient stadium was in 776 BC when Queen Atalante held a chariot race to celebrate her husband's return from battle. The event ended in tragedy when one of the chariots crashed into a wall, killing Atalante.
