When reality leaves you breathless We all read about the Delphi oracle either from history, the legends of the Olympians, adds regarding Greece or even through movies or documentaries but somehow they can't fully describe the site beauty and impressive location. Next to the museum you also have toilets and a shop if you want to buy anything. Would recommend visiting the museum first to make an idea on how the site looked like when it was fully operational as well as seeing some nicely preserved sculptures. Then you head over to the main site and you realized that it was sitting behind a rocky mountain with a beautiful view over the area and the sea. It's pretty windy even on a summer day in August when we went and if the sun is in the clouds it's quite a nice walk. However I would recommend wearing a hat and sunscreen as when the sun hits you can easily get burned. From up you realize this was a complex which included not only the main temple of Apollo but a small theater, a school as well as other temples. Usually what people see in most pictures is the small temple of Athena which is further down the main entrance to the main site for which you do not need to pay any entrance. Would recommend visiting it as well as it is nicely preserved.

Visitor's review on Trip Advisor

Grounds of European history. You can stay here for twenty minutes or meditate for hours. There are just two monuments (Leonidas statue and famous plate with inscription on Kolonos hill. Still, the story behind is about laying grounds for European history - fighting for freedom until you sacrifice yourself. Famous Leonidas´ sentence "Molon labe" - "Come and take them" is never-to-be-forgotten. If you look for spectacular monuments, there are none. If you understand a little bit of Greek and European history, stay and give it some thought.
