Delphi, a two-hour drive from Athens, is a mysterious place in ancient Greece. The ruins of ancient Delphi, located about 8 kilometers away under the cliffs, are more attractive to tourists. Since its development in the late 19th century, tourists have been coming in an endless stream.It is said that this place was once the center of spiritual civilization in the ancient world. For the Greek gods, Delphi is the most important temple among all the famous Greek places. The temple is dedicated to the sun god Apollo. In the beliefs of the ancient Greeks, Apollo is the god of knowledge, light, music and medicine. Visitors can feel the greatness of Apollo here.At the site, only seven columns of different lengths remain of the Temple of Apollo. Among the broken columns and tiles, the square center of the temple and the Z-shaped "Sacred Road" along the hillside can be seen. On both sides of the Sacred Road are stables, gift warehouses and monuments praising holy relics, followed by colonnades and altars, as well as a semicircular open-air theater and stadium that can accommodate 5,000 people.
