Delphi

Delphi is an ancient Greek city included in the World Heritage List. It is located on the mountain slope, 10 kilometers away from the Gulf of Corinth. Near the ancient city there is a modern tourist town of the same name. Even in the low season it was crowded with tourists.




The town is a living hell if you are searching for parking, so take only the hotel with own parking places. We stayed at such a hotel - Nidimos Hotel (booking.com), chose a room with a sea view and a balcony, we recommend.

Both modern and antique cities are interesting primarily for their location. Not everyone likes to walk on the ruins, but here the ruins are in a beautiful place in the mountains. And we know that everyone loves the mountains.

From above you can see that the most preserved objects are theater and a huge stadium. The city held the Pythian Games - the second most important games after the Olympic Games.
