Panoramic view of the modern village of Delphi nestled into the steep, rugged slopes of the Parnassus mountains in Greece.
The omphalos
To the ancient Greeks, it was the omphalos—the bellybutton of the world! Today, it remains one of the most breathtaking vistas on the planet.
Looking out over the modern community of Delphi, Greece, you see a village perfectly perched in the rugged mountains just west of the world-renowned ruins. There is a mystical quality to this landscape that makes it easy to understand why the ancients chose this specific spot as their most sacred religious center.
Whether you are drawn by the history of the Oracle or the sheer majesty of the mountain peaks, Delphi is a place that stays with you long after you leave.
