where the two Eagles met 

Nature at its grandest, the famous oracle and Unesco World Heritage monument. 

After all these years, the gods still reign over Delphi. The harmony and energy that bound men and their Gods is still apparent in Ancient Delphi. Pictures cannot do justice to the grandeur and majesty of this sight, nor can words express the emotions that this place provokes. The two eagles, dispatched by Zeus to find the centre of the earth, met here. And it is also the place where God Apollo founded his sanctuary when he killed the dragon Python. The Delphic landscape of Central Greece and the archaeological site are a gift to humanity. In Delphi, you will bow to what men and nature made together, a creation beyond place and time.  

The ancient Greeks believed Delphi to be the ’navel of the earth‘. Modern-day visitors to this UNESCO World Heritage site, still find inspiration in its stunning setting and ancient ruins.  

MUST SEES: the Sanctuaries of Apollo Pythios and Athena Pronaia, the Delphi Oracle, the Castalia Springs, the Stadium, the museum. North of Delphi you can visit the town of Thebes, birthplace of the legendary Hercules, and the scenic village of Arahova, famous for its woven handicrafts.  

OPTIONAL VISITS: stop at the traditional cosmopolitan village of Arachova (at 1000 meters altitude). Visit the Archaeological museum of Thebes or the Byzantine Monastery of Hosios Loukas.
