Delphi Attractions: 9 Visitor Guides

Delphi's archaeological site climbs the slope of Mount Parnassus: the Sanctuary of Apollo with the Temple of Apollo, the Treasury of the Athenians and the stadium above, and the Tholos at the Athena Pronaia sanctuary below the road, with the museum and the Castalian Spring between them. Each guide below covers one part of the site and how to plan the visit.

    The Castalian Spring sits in a ravine below the Phaedriades cliffs at Delphi, on the approach to the Sanctuary of Apollo. Here is where it is, how the walk works, what the site actually shows you, and how to fit it into a Delphi visit without treating it as a separate outing.

    The Roman Agora of Delphi is a quiet, low-lying set of foundations inside the Sanctuary of Apollo, not a second Athens Roman Agora.

    Temple of Apollo at Delphi: Plan Your Visit & What to See

    The Temple of Apollo is the centrepiece of the Delphi archaeological site in central Greece: a surviving platform and column stumps that record where the Oracle's sanctuary stood.

    The Tholos of Delphi is the circular building at the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, built in 380-370 BC and partly restored in 1938.
