Mount Parnassus

Greece's most important archaeological site after the Acropolis, Delphi was the religious centre of the ancient world.

The museum shelters numerous wonderful artefacts unearthed during excavations at the home of the Oracle, including the famous Charioteer of Delphi.

The 35 rows of this ancient theatre can seat 5,000, and offer spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding ruins and valley below.

Central among the Delphi ruins, the temple's imposing columns lie on the southern slopes of Parnassos mountain.

Thissio is one of locals' favorite neighborhoods, with open air concerts and lined with kafeneios interspersed with its many neoclassical buildings.

At the heart of Greek social life are kafeneios - local cafes which serve coffee, ouzo, and local beer.
