Delphi, Greece | The “Navel of the World” in Ancient Greece

Built on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, it was considered the center of the world, drawing people from far and wide. Today, with its picturesque ruins of temples, treasuries, a stadium and a theater, Delphi is one of the world’s best-preserved archaeological sites and holds UNESCO World Heritage status.
