9Delphi

Once considered the “center of the world” in ancient Greek religion, Delphi sits on the slopes of Mount Parnassus and holds an almost mystical aura. In the off-season, you can walk along the Sacred Way to the Temple of Apollo without crowds rushing past. The theater, stadium, and treasuries stand in quiet dignity, while the Delphi Archaeological Museum preserves artifacts like the Charioteer of Delphi. Visiting outside peak months makes the site feel like a personal encounter with history.
