Introducing Delphi
If the ancient Greeks hadn’t chosen Delphi as their navel of the earth and built the Sanctuary of Apollo here, someone else would have thought of a good reason to make this eagle’s eyrie village a tourist attraction. Its location on a precipitous cliff edge is spectacular and, despite its overt commercialism and the constant passage of tour buses through the modern village, it still has a special feel. Modern Delphi is 178km northwest of Athens and is the base for exploring one of Greece’s major tourist sites.
