Temple of Apollo

Begin your Delphi tour at the ancient Temple of Apollo, the sacred site where the famous Oracle of Delphi once delivered her prophecies. Built in the 4th century BC, this temple was the spiritual heart of the ancient Greek world and a major centre for worshiping Apollo, the god of light, music, and prophecy. Explore the impressive Doric columns and ruins while learning about the temple’s historical significance and the rituals performed by the Pythia, the priestess who conveyed Apollo’s messages.

Treasury of the Athenians

Visit the Athenian Treasury, a beautifully preserved building constructed in the 5th century BC to house valuable offerings dedicated to Apollo. This treasury symbolised Athens’ wealth and power and showcased intricate Doric architecture and sculptural reliefs depicting mythological scenes. Standing near the treasury, you’ll gain insight into the political and religious significance of Delphi as a pan-Hellenic sanctuary

Ancient Theatre

Discover the Ancient Theatre of Delphi, a remarkable open-air venue built into the hillside with stunning views of the valley below. Dating back to the 4th century BC, this well-preserved theatre hosted dramatic performances and religious ceremonies honouring the gods. With seating for 5000 spectators, the theatre played a key role in the cultural and spiritual life of ancient Delphi. Enjoy exploring the stone seats and imagine the performances that once captivated audiences in this historic setting.
