To honor the legend that Apollo appeared to the locals as a dolphin, the name “Delphi” was derived from the Greek word for dolphin. The Greek city of Delphi can be found in the province of Phocis.

As the home of Pythia, the high priestess of Apollo, it has gained notoriety. The old name for Delphi was Pytho. Its proximity to the Gulf of Corinth is convenient. It was the city from whence ancient humanity received prophecies and other forms of direction.

It’s recommended to go up to the stadium too because the views are great. The Stadium of Delphi lies on the highest spot of the Archaeological Site of Delphi. It overlooks the sanctuary of Apollo and has a view of the Delphic landscape. It was built either within the second half of the 4th century B.C. or even after the Galatian attacks. It measured 178 meters in length. The Stadium of Delphi is the best-preserved ancient stadium in Greece.
