Between the mighty cliffs of the Phaedriads, the ancient Greeks marked the center of the world, the "center of the earth. And for us it is the mountain scenery, the Pythian games, the famous oracle and the ruins of ancient Delphi, which date back to the Mycenaean period. The theater and stadium, the Temple of Apollo, the Stoa, the black marble altar, the treasury with reliefs of the exploits of Hercules and Theseus, the Athena Pronoi's tholos rotunda are examples of the greatest art of the archaic age. And don't forget to wash your face with the water of the Castalia spring of eternal youth (to the right of the entrance to the archaeological site).
