ITEA
(DELPHI) GREECE
In
Greek mythology, Delphi was the place where the world started, and therefore
one of the most spiritual places in Greece.
Perched on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, it was the location of the
famed oracle and the Sanctuary of Apollo.
Excavations of the site in the nineteenth century uncovered the area’s
theater and stadium among other ruins.
Shortly after, a town cropped up nearby to accommodate tourists coming
to see the area’s archeological wonders.
Delphi’s archeological site is a peaceful place, unlike the many sites
in Athens. The ‘agora’ (meeting place) is at its center with the treasury,
temple of Apollo, and other sites within walking distance. The museum near the site holds artifacts from
Delphi.
