Stop 2

Discover the rich legacy of Delphi with a visit to the Archaeological Museum and the Ancient Theater. At the museum, explore one of Greece’s finest collections, featuring treasures unearthed from the sanctuary itself. Highlights include the renowned bronze Charioteer, the towering Sphinx of Naxos, and impressive temple pediments and statues spanning over a thousand years of history—from the Mycenaean era to the Greco-Roman period.

Your tour continues uphill to the Ancient Theater of Delphi, set dramatically on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Built in the 4th century BC and seating up to 5,000 spectators, this beautifully preserved theater once hosted performances and musical contests during the Pythian Games. Today, it still comes alive with cultural events, offering breathtaking views over the sanctuary and the valley below.
