This important religious center is located near Mount Parnassus. Needless to say, an architectural monument located in such a picturesque place cannot but attract attention? For a long time this place was considered the center of the earth. There is a legend that once Zeus released two eagles from different parts of the world and they met at the foot of this mountain, at that moment a large stone fell from the mountain, which in Greek was called the "Navel of the Earth". The stone itself is carefully protected from annoying tourists. What does not bother "stretching to feel the navel" at all. Previously, there was a sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi, where people brought their donations. It was in it that the Oracle, the priestess Pythia, lived. The guide will surely tell you the story about the prediction of the defeat of the Lydian king. Unfortunately, time has destroyed Delphi, but this place is very beautiful, worthy of a visit.
