Delphi Area

Delphi, with a population of 1,500, is one of the most gorgeous and impressing landscapes of Greece, and the centre -"Omphalos "- of the world, according to the ancient myth. It was already occupied in the prehistoric times and later on -especially throughout the traditional times- obtained excellent historic value, as it has actually been linked with the most considerable events of Greek history. Apollo, the God of catharsis and the authentic oracle, dominated earlier kinds of praise in the Delphi. He taught people the "metron", that is prudence and modesty, which became the most ethical and peaceful expression of the Greek spirit. The well-known Oracle of Delphi, where the god's divination was offered through the mouth of Pythia, was directed by the so-called priesthood, that is priests with deep mystic education.

Furthermore, Delphi with the popular Amphictyonic organization, gave the signal for relationship, brotherhood and peaceful coexistence of individuals, as an essential goal of the Delphic idea. A rather spectacular proof of the world-wide status delighted in by the temple of the God of Light was the amount of votive offerings by leaders, towns and rich residents, fantastic in both quality and creative value; sadly, extremely few of them have survived through the time.

These two rocks provide a strange and incomparable beauty to Delphi's landscape.The long mountain Kirfis is all you ever see opposite the rocks and the Plistos river flows through a valley planted with olive trees. The civilization flourished here from the 9th century b.c. to 83 b.c.
