What to see at Delphi

1/10

Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia

Start with the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, the first temple pilgrims saw when they visited the site from the east road. Its highlight is the 4th-century-BCE Tholos of Delphi, a circular structure with three tall standing Doric columns.

Sacred Way

Follow in the footsteps of the Ancient Greeks as you walk along the Sacred Way. This path leads to the Temple of Apollo, which all pilgrims took. It is lined by various monuments and treasuries honoring the Greek gods.

Temple of Apollo

Explore the Temple of Apollo, the shrine around which Delphi was built. This was where the Oracle of Delphi made her prophecies. The ruins that you see today are from the 4th century BCE.

Theater of Delphi

Beyond the Temple of Apollo, you can see the theater of Delphi where the ancient Greeks held plays and performances during festivals and the Pythian Games. From the top of the theater, you get an idea of how vast it is – it could seat up to 5,000 spectators!

Ancient stadium of Delphi

Take the path further up the rocky hillslope to the ancient stadium of Delphi, where the Pythian Games (equivalent to the ancient Olympic Games) were held every four years. This grand arena, which could seat up to 7,000 people, is one of the most well-preserved ancient Greek stadiums.

Delphi Archaeological Museum

The Delphi Archaeological Museum, located adjacent to the ruins, was established in 1903 and houses artifacts excavated from the site. Prominent among these are pediments from the Temple of Apollo and Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, the Charioteer of Delphi, the Sphinx of Naxos, the ivory-and-gold chryselephantine statues, and the frieze of the Siphnian Treasury.

Athenian treasury

The Athenians built their treasury at Delphi to honor Apollo after their victory over the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in the 5th century BCE. Built to resemble a temple, it was decorated with friezes and metopes, and used by pilgrims to store offerings and dedications.

Omphalos

The sacred Omphalos was a carved stone which was believed to be dropped at Delphi by Zeus to mark it as the center of the world. It means “navel of the world”, a sign of the immense significance of Delphi in the ancient world.

Castalian Spring

Visit the Castalian Spring, where the Oracle of Delphi cleansed and purified herself before making her prophecies. Pilgrims and visitors also stopped here to wash and quench their thirst before going up to the temple complex.

Polygonal Wall

The Polygonal Wall is one of the architectural highlights of the Temple of Apollo. Characterized by perfectly interlocked irregularly shaped stones, the wall was built in the 6th century to support the temple during its second construction.

Frequently asked questions about Delphi tickets

Are Delphi Archaeological Museum tickets separate from the Delphi archaeological site tickets?

Your Delphi tickets include access to both the museum as well as the archaeological site. You don’t have to purchase them separately.

How long should I allocate for a visit to Delphi?

You can explore the Delphi ruins and the archaeological museum in one day. However, if you plan to explore the other towns in the region, like Arachova or Galaxidi, you can stay in Delphi overnight.

What is the best way to get to Delphi?

Delphi is accessible from Athens by bus and car. Driving down or taking a taxi is the most convenient way since you can visit on your own schedule. If you cannot drive or don’t want the hassle of dealing with transportation, you can book a full-day guided tour of Delphi from Athens, which includes round-trip transfers.

What should I wear when visiting Delphi?

If you’re visiting during the spring, summer, or autumn seasons, wear comfortable, breathable clothing and sturdy shoes. Carry a light jacket, as the weather can get chilly. During the low-season winter months, wrap up well in warm clothing and carry an umbrella or a rain jacket as the region sees rain and snow during this time of the year.

Is Delphi wheelchair accessible?

The Delphi Archaeological Museum is entirely accessible by wheelchair, including elevator access. The Delphi ruins, however, are located on the side of a mountain, with steep climbing paths and stone steps to access them. Wheelchairs are not suited to navigate this rugged terrain.

Are there restrooms available at Delphi?

You can use the visitor restrooms at the Delphi Archaeological Museum. There are no restrooms at the archaeological site.

Can I store my luggage or personal belongings somewhere while visiting Delphi?

Are pets allowed at Delphi?
