As we step back in time, immerse yourself in Greek mythology as we visit the Temple of Apollo, the oracle, the navel, and what was believed to be the center of the world. Delphi’s history is entwined with the oracle Pythia, who, while seated on a tripod and inhaling ethylene gasses, uttered cryptic words that foretold the future. Pythia’s prophecies were so revered that major decisions were never made without consulting the Oracle of Delphi first. Visitors from all over the Mediterranean, including Greek and foreign dignitaries, heads of state, and common people, made pilgrimages to Delphi and paid generous amounts to receive an oracle.
