Delphi – Sanctuary of Apollo and Athena, Greece

Delphi, previously called Pytho, was an ancient sacred precinct and the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world.

Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious centre and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.

Before visiting the Sanctuary of Apollo, the Sanctuary of Athena, which was nearby, was seen.
