Delphi Travel Guide: 276 reviews and 954 photos

Going to Greece without a trip to Delphi is like going to Egypt without seeing the Pyramids of Giza. Delphi significance to Classical CUlture is greater than anyother place in Greece. This Oracle was considered Sacred to Athenians and Spartans alike as well as Corinthians, Argives, and people of Thebes. Even King Croesus sent an embassy to this place to ask if he should invade Persia. The Romans sent an embassy early on in their history. The historical significance of this place can not be over stated.
