📖 About Delphi
Delphi was the holiest site in ancient Greece — home of the famous Oracle, to whom kings and citizens flocked to seek the counsel of the god Apollo. A UNESCO World Heritage Site on the slope of Mount Parnassus, in breathtaking mountain scenery. The Greeks believed Delphi was the navel of the world. The site preserves the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, the stadium, and the city treasuries. The Castalian Spring still flows. The museum displays the bronze Charioteer and the Sphinx of Naxos. Delphi is about 2.5 hours from Athens, visitable as a day trip or staying in the nearby village. The visit takes 2-3 hours and involves climbing.
📚 From the encyclopedia
Delphi Archaeological museum (Greek: Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Δελφών) is one of the principal museums of Greece and one of the most visited. It is operated by the Greek Ministry of Culture (Ephorate of Antiquities of Phocis). Founded in 1903, it has been rearranged several times and houses the discoveries made at the Panhellenic sanctuary of Delphi, which date from the Late Helladic (Mycenean) period to the early Byzantine era. Organised in fourteen rooms on two levels, the museum mainly displays statues, including the famous Charioteer of Delphi, architectural elements, like the frieze of the Siphnian Treasury and ex votos dedicated to the sanctuary of Pythian Apollo, like the Sphinx of Naxos. The exhibition floor space is more than 2270 m2, while the storage and conservation rooms (mosaics, ceramics and metals) take up 558 m2. Visitors are also catered to by an entrance hall, a cafeteria and a gift shop.
