Delphi, Greece a place to visit before you die

This was the place where the most famous oracle in the ancient world conveyed its sometimes riddling advice to Romans as well as Greeks. 

You can still see the temple where the oracle was based, the stadium where races were held in the regular festivals, and the elegant treasuries where different cities housed their rich dedications to the god Apollo.

It’s in a stunningly beautiful setting, high up in a mountain valley. 

Energetic visitors should hike further above the main site to the spooky “Corycian cave”, sacred to the nymphs, where 1000s of tiny offerings in bronze and pottery have been discovered. 

It’s a very different religious atmosphere from the grand sanctuary below.
