Why Delphi Archaeological Site matters
Delphi was where people came to hear the oracle's answers. A sacred way winds up the hillside past treasuries to the temple of Apollo, and above is a theatre and a stadium with a spectacular view. The mountain setting is a big part of the experience. Allow time for the climb.
Talking points
- The oracle was consulted by rulers and ordinary people.
- The theatre and stadium sit higher on the slope.
- The landscape is as impressive as the ruins.
