7Delphi – The Navel of the World

Nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Delphi is renowned as the ancient Greeks’ spiritual and religious center. According to myth, Zeus released two eagles from opposite ends of the world, and they met in Delphi, marking it as the “navel” or omphalos of the world.

Delphi was home to the Oracle of Apollo, a priestess who channeled the god’s prophecies. The ruins of the Temple of Apollo and the Theater of Delphi transport visitors to an era when seekers from across the ancient world sought guidance and wisdom.
