Overview
Delphi is one of the most popular archaeological sites in Greece. It comes second in traffic only to The Acropolis of Athens. Our «Private Delphi Tours From Athens» is designed to take you on a journey to legends and historic moments, centuries back in time.
Delphi is famous as the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as Pythia the oracle sat on the tripod throne and gave her prophesies about important decisions to be made throughout the ancient classical world and also according to mythology, it is here that the two eagles, sent out by Zeus from the ends of the universe to find the «navel» of the world, met.
Moreover, the Greeks considered Delphi the navel of the world, as represented by the stone monument known as the Omphalos of Delphi.
Here, is where Pythia, the most famous prophet of the entire ancient Greece was located. Let’s listen to the prophecies…
