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.

Delphi Archaeological Museum

The museum is fully accessible by wheelchair, including elevator access and a specially designed wheelchair-accessible route.
It has a designated restroom and parking spaces for people with disabilities.
It also offers pamphlets in Braille for those who are blind or have visual impairments.

Delphi archaeological site

The archaeological ruins are situated on a hill slope, with various structures located at different levels. The path is steep and uneven, with rocky steps. This makes it difficult for wheelchair users to navigate the site.
There is a special vehicle available that takes visitors with mobility issues up to the Temple of Apollo. You need to inform the authorities at least 7 days before your visit to be able to access it.
Information panels in Braille are located throughout the archaeological site at the different monuments.

Outdoor restroom sign with directional arrow.

Restrooms: Visitor restrooms are available at the Delphi Archaeological Museum, but there are no restrooms at the archaeological site.

Photography: You’re allowed to take pictures and videos of the ruins at the archaeological site and the exhibits in the museum. However, you’ll need to get permission in advance for commercial photography or videography.

Audio guides: Most Delphi tickets include audio guides in English. Depending on the ticket you choose, audio guides in other languages, such as French, German, Spanish, and Italian, are also available.

Your tour of the Delphi ruins will involve a lot of walking on steep paths up and down the hillside. Wear comfortable shoes with a good grip so that you can explore with ease.
The ruins are spread across an open mountain slope with very little shade. Carry a bottle of water, which you can refill from the water fountain at the ticket booth near the archaeological site. Also carry sun protection.
If you’re visiting Delphi in the low-season winter months (November to March), arm yourself with an umbrella or a rain jacket as it tends to rain.
Hotels in Delphi town can easily fill up, particularly in the peak season. Choose to stay at Arachova, located just 20 minutes away, instead. This small ski resort town has plenty of hotels to choose from.

Taverna Vakhos: Enjoy authentic traditional Greek food with magnificent views of the Gulf of Corinth from its windows. Order local favorites like Greek salad, stuffed cabbage leaves, peppers stuffed with feta cheese, lamb chops, baklava, and bread and olive tapenade, at Taverna Vakhos.

Taverna DION: A highly recommended dining spot, Taverna DION specializes in Greek dishes like spanakopita, moussaka, souvlaki, bifteki gemisto, and pork steak. Apart from its attentive service and friendly staff, this vibrant restaurant is also known for its fantastic local cheeses.

To Patriko Mas: If you fancy delicious food accompanied by great local wines, head to To Patriko Mas, a Greek Mediterranean restaurant located at the end of Delphi’s main street. Try the fresh bread with tzatziki, traditional spinach pie, slow-cooked venison and noodles, and country lamb, as you enjoy fantastic views of the valley.

Most restaurants in Delphi offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on their menus as well.
