LOCATION

Delphi is situated since the prehistoric period in the land of Fokida, at the central part of the Continental Greece Region. It is not only a place of great archeological interest, excavated and studied for many centuries, what makes this land an eternal pole of attraction for travelers and scholars of the world. It is the breathtaking view, the steep landscape, the “Fedriades” rocks of mount Parnassus, overlooking the Gulf of Itea and the olive-tree valley of Amfissa. It is the myth spread over the centuries.

Built on its ancient ruins, Delphi is today a modern town of about 2500 permanent inhabitants, located at an altitude of 450meters, offering one of the best developed tourist infrastructures in Greece and a long tradition of high quality services, culture and warm hospitality. 17km is the historic town of Amfissa, Capital of the Prefecture of Fokida, and closely the seafront of cosmopolitan Itea, and the traditional sailors’ town of Galaxidi. On the mountain side are located picturesque village Arachova and the renowned Ski-Center of Mount Parnassus. Details may also be found in The Greek National Tourism Organisation.
