Step back in time and uncover two of the most iconic locations in ancient Greek history: Delphi and Thermopylae. These sacred and heroic sites have inspired travelers for centuries with their mythology, breathtaking landscapes, and profound historical significance.
Why Visit Delphi?
Nestled on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Delphi was revered as the "Navel of the World" in ancient times. Pilgrims traveled from across the known world to seek advice from the Oracle of Apollo. Today, visitors can marvel at the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, and the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which houses artifacts like the famed Charioteer of Delphi.
The Legend of Thermopylae
Just north of Athens, the narrow pass of Thermopylae witnessed one of history's most legendary battles. Here, King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan warriors made their courageous last stand against a massive Persian army. Visiting the monument of Leonidas and the Thermopylae museum brings this story of sacrifice and bravery vividly to life.
