The Archaeological Site of Delphi
Delphi is one of the most famous archaeological sites in Greece. It is located in Fokida. Τhe most famous oracle of Ancient Greece resided there. It was dedicated to the ancient Greek god Apollo who delivered his oracles through Pythia, a priestess whose prophesies were ambiguously phrased so as to show the oracle in a good light regardless of the outcome. The Archaeological Museum of Delphi harmonically supplements the ancient site offering guests the chance to enjoy masterpieces of art, such as the famous “Charioteer” (“Eneochos”). In 1987, UNESCO awarded Delphi Oracle and the surrounding Delphic Landscape the “World Heritage Site” status.
