Why Go
Greeks believed Delphi was the center of the world. Pilgrims climbed the Sacred Way past treasuries built by rival cities to the Temple of Apollo, where the priestess Pythia gave her riddling prophecies.
Higher up, the theater has a view over the valley, and the stadium at the top hosted the Pythian Games.
