Exploring the Sanctuary of Delphi (History and Walking Tour)

In this video, we explore the legendary site of Delphi—once considered the center of the world by the ancient Greeks. We'll begin with the fascinating history of this mystical sanctuary, home to the famous Oracle of Apollo, and then explore the site by walking tour through its stunning ruins: the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, treasuries, and finally the above the city with Delphi's famous stadium. It's the next best thing to actually being there.
