Delphi | Fulfilling All My Fantasies About Ancient Greek Ruins

Luka GurchumalidzeLuka Gurchumalidze

Visiting the Delphi Archaeological Museum and the ancient site of Delphi was an unforgettable experience. The location itself is stunning, set on the slopes of Mount Parnassus with breathtaking views of the valley below. Walking through the site, I truly felt like I was stepping into history. Delphi was once considered the center of the world in ancient Greek mythology, and standing there, I could feel the energy and significance of the place. The museum is well-organized and houses an impressive collection of ancient artifacts. Highlights include the famous Charioteer of Delphi, beautifully preserved statues, and many offerings once dedicated to the god Apollo. The displays really help bring the site to life and give a deeper understanding of its importance in ancient times. Exploring the archaeological site itself was a bit challenging—there’s a lot of walking and it’s mostly uphill, but the effort is worth it. Every part of the site, from the Temple of Apollo to the ancient theatre and stadium, holds something special. Despite the physical effort, the beauty and historical atmosphere made it completely rewarding. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history or ancient Greece. It’s a place where you can truly feel connected to the past while enjoying amazing natural surroundings.

Visiting the Delphi archaeological site and museum was an unforgettable journey into the heart of ancient Greece. The site itself, nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, offers breathtaking views and a palpable sense of history. Exploring the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, the theater, and the stadium was like stepping back in time, imagining the rituals and competitions that once took place there. The museum, with its impressive collection of artifacts, beautifully complements the outdoor experience. From intricately carved statues to delicate pottery, each exhibit tells a story of the people who once inhabited this sacred place. The highlight for me was seeing the iconic Charioteer statue up close, its serene expression and masterful craftsmanship truly awe-inspiring. The staff at both the site and the museum were knowledgeable and passionate, adding depth to the experience with their insights and anecdotes. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply seeking to connect with the past, a visit to Delphi is a must-do. It's a place where ancient wonders come to life, leaving a lasting impression on all who have the privilege to explore its treasures.

We purchased our tickets online for the 9:00-10:00 slot and decided to visit the archaeological site first to enjoy fewer crowds. However, the friendly staff informed us that our tickets included both the Delphi Museum and the archaeological site, and we needed to start at the museum first according to the designated time. (Nothing says about this on their official website though.) They scanned our tickets on our mobile phones at the entrance. We noticed that the museum was already lively with many visitors, mostly organized in touring groups of about 20 people each group. So it wad wuite crowded. The museum is relatively small, so we were able to explore all the exhibits in less than an hour. Many things are incredibly interesting especially statues and pillars. Visiting the museum first turned out to be a great idea, as it provided valuable background information that enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the archaeological site later on. The museum also offers clean restrooms and a small cafeteria at the entrance, making it convenient for visitors to take a quick break. There are also many friendly cats here that we could pet.

The Delphi Archaeological Museum, nestled in the heart of Greece, serves as a mesmerizing window into the ancient world, showcasing the rich cultural and religious heritage of the Delphic sanctuary, revered throughout antiquity as the home of the famous oracle. This museum is a treasure trove of history, housing an extensive collection of artifacts that span thousands of years, including the iconic Charioteer of Delphi, the Sphinx of Naxos, and the remnants of the Temple of Apollo. The exhibits, arranged chronologically, offer a comprehensive overview of the development of the art and thought of ancient Greece, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts. Beyond its historical significance, the museum's location offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and mountains, adding a layer of natural beauty to the experience. Visiting the Delphi Archaeological Museum is not just a journey into the past; it's an opportunity to connect with the wisdom and artistry of ancient civilizations, making it a pivotal stop for anyone exploring Greece's rich heritage.

Delphi | Fulfilling All My Fantasies About Ancient Greek Ruins

The site of the temple of Apollo is worth the visit 10/10. HOWEVER — the inspiring visit was completely undermined by two workers who left me feeling humiliated and my privacy violated because I took photos of myself with the tiniest tripod that fits in my small purse. Upon seeing me snap a photo of myself with it, a woman who worked there began screaming at me from 25 feet away that I am not allowed to use a tripod in the park. I attempted to ignore her because I was on my way out and figured she would calm down. That was not the case. She continued screaming and insisted I come talk to her so she could continue to berate me. I told her I’m here alone, and I didn’t know that was a rule. Instead of doing the right thing and letting it go, she continued to act as if I had done something terribly wrong, as if I had broken some sacred rule, and began to insist that I delete the photos. I refused, and she then threatened to walk me down to the museum where they would charge me $300. She was irrationally upset at me for breaking a rule that I didn’t know I broke, and for taking pictures that were tantamount to propping my phone on the ground. Seeing as deleted photos are easily recoverable, she just wanted to exert her power in some way by making me do SOMETHING. After a heated back-and-forth, (she was literally turning red in the face and sweating) a colleague of hers told her to drop it, and I finally walked away. At the bottom of the hill, I was confronted by ANOTHER woman worker, who I had earlier witnessed refusing to give a DISABLED woman a discounted entry because she didn’t have the proper documentation needed in Greece. Supposedly you have to prove 67% disability which also makes no sense and helps nobody. Anyways, clearly she and the other lady had been convening on walkie-talkie and she was standing sentinel prepared to rectify the unfinished retribution for my crime. She also acted as if I had violated a sacred rule on purpose and should have been asking people to take my photo. She insisted on seeing the photos to have me delete them. I kept my cool, but I told her that this is absurd that the contents of my phone are private. I had already hid the photos on the walk down assuming that the confrontation might be not over based on the last lady’s behavior. If I had the emotional energy, I would have walked these women to the museum and made my case, because it is absolutely insane to punish someone for doing something that they didn’t know they were doing wrong, and furthermore was completely harmless. But, I complied and showed her the contents of my phone. She was so unhappy that she didn’t find the photos. She was zooming in scrolling around in my pictures while I asked her to respect my privacy. She finally gave up and let me go. It completely sullied my experience and it felt terrible to be bullied as a woman alone, especially by other women. If there truly is a no tripod rule, it was clearly about professional photography, which I was not doing. I assume they’re unhappy, hate their jobs, and resent the tourists, which I totally understand, but their behavior was so out of pocket. It felt awful. It is so depressing to see the working class act with such impunity to feel a sense of power. They must live small boring lives to be so ugly and mean. I am so shook by the insanity and bad energy that I had to write it out here and warn others about their mean-spirits. Lastly, I hope you enjoy the offending photo 🤭 I was posed as a Pythia— a tradition of high priestesses known as the Oracles of Delphi 🖤. Moral of the story: don’t let the mean people in life get you down, and trust in karma to do the rest 😌

Apollo Temple @ Delphi So, we finally made the climb, and what a climb it was, (especially with bad knees) but it was totally worth it! Lucky we did the early morning tour, 9am to be precise, couple of hours later and the tour busses clocked in! (Not so lucky later as the museum was quite crowded) Apollo wasn’t around, but here a bit about him: (source:Wikipedia) Apollo has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more. One of the most important and complex of the Greek gods, he is the son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of Artemis, goddess of the hunt. There is little left of the temple itself, but with a bit of imagination and of course the accompanying sign boards, one pretty much gets the picture! Further up the mountain, was also the stadium, used for competition, impressive to think all the boulders and stones had to be carried up 2600 years or so ago, quite a feat! We continue to be impressed by what the ancient Greeks have accomplished during their time, its oil off the historic soul buff, (we are not, but hey we can still admire the accomplishments by the ancestors) Spend several hours at this site, it’s truly worth it! After completing this enormous exercise, walk back into Delphi town, and pretty much at the beginning, opposite & next to V Hotel, there is this quaint little eatery, which sets up tables across the street and serves some classics! We decided on Moussaka & Gyro, which were both great, befitting the mood while enjoying the view towards Itea and the gulf! A day well spend on our Greek adventure! #magicalholidays#thetourist #greece #athens #holidaysurprise #delfi #delphi #apollo #apollotemple

The Temple of Apollo at Delphi is an unforgettable place to visit. Entrance is €20 per person (children enter for free), and you should be prepared for a good amount of walking uphill through the sanctuary. For me, it’s a deeply mystical site, full of symbolism and meaning – I could return again and again without hesitation. That said, I understand that visitors less interested in history or mythology might find the ruins of the temple itself a bit underwhelming. According to tradition, Delphi was the “navel of the world” (omphalos), marked by a sacred stone that Zeus placed where two eagles sent from opposite ends of the earth met. Beneath the temple also ran a mystical chasm, from which vapors were believed to rise; seated above it on a tripod, the priestess Pythia delivered Apollo’s oracles. These stories give the site its aura, turning the ruins into far more than just stones – they are the remains of one of the most powerful spiritual centers of the ancient world.

The Temple of Apollo at Delphi is an awe-inspiring site steeped in history and mythology. Once the heart of the Oracle of Delphi, where priestesses delivered prophecies believed to be the words of Apollo, it is surrounded by a mystical aura. Built in the 4th century BCE, its remains include impressive columns and a platform that hints at its former grandeur. The temple’s architectural style reflects classical Greek aesthetics, and its location on Mount Parnassus offers breathtaking views of the valley below, adding to the experience. Walking among the ruins, you can feel the history and spirituality that once drew pilgrims from all over the ancient world. Informational plaques provide context, helping visitors imagine the significance of the rituals and gatherings that took place here. Though only partially preserved, the Temple of Apollo remains one of the most iconic and evocative spots in Delphi, offering a rare glimpse into the spiritual life of ancient Greece.

Amazing experience. Chalet was really nice and had many restaurants in it. The lifts were very nice quick but a bit crowded the tickets for the lifts were a good and normal price but the line was huge the place was really crowded and the lines for each lift was massive. Most teachers their don't take the kids in at the courses but down next to the chalet

We were lucky to get a lot of snow to ski well for 5 days! The quality of snow was quite good. Most of the slopes worked well and it didn’t take us long to stay in the queue to the cable car. There were some snacks and hot drinks on the slope.
