We were shown around by a local guide as part of our Greece tour. Although you'd be impressed by what you saw if you went by yourself I think we got more out of it with a guide - or maybe take a good guide book, there's so much to see and understand at this site. If you're feeling energetic there's a walk right up to the stadium at the top, it is worth it.

20 minutes from Delphi, on the edge of a HUGE valley of olive trees and wild thyme, there is a wonderful place called Moka Honey. The mission of the two amazing men that run this apiary is to educate and bring awareness to the importance of bees in our world. We learned so much more than we could have imagined! This was a highlight of our trip to Greece and I highly recommend this experience to ANYONE visiting the region. The only cost was 8 euro per adult, which buys you a jar of some of the most delicious, raw honey you will ever eat. You will want to take home as much of this wonderful honey as you can! Please, do yourself a favor and put this on your list. What an unexpected and unforgettable experience. ❤️????

I couldn't imagine that there is such a place in Greece. "Well done" for the people-volunteers who designed and made this park. It has almost everything. You can walk, you can enjoy many different activities in nature, you can even play bowling and swim (in summer)! We spend tho hours walking and I'm not a trekking person at all. Hope to go again and explore the whole area soon.
5. Mount Parnassus

A beautiful mountain offering scenic views of the surrounding olive groves and countryside.
Reviewed By rcblanc - Tampa, United States
The only word that can describe the view from on top the mountain side is breathtaking. The climb was a pull for me but I stopped at every platform to catch my breath and made it to the top. There is a stadium at the top that was used before the Olympic games was founded in Olympia. You get a sense of the amount of people in ancient times that walked where I was walking. The climb to the top is very much worth the effort.

A museum containing some of the sculptures and artifacts excavated from the Oracle.
Reviewed By Scouter710 - Bowling Green, United States
From the famous charioteer to artifcatcs dating back to 1600 BC covering the Mycenaean period, classical and Hellenistic periods, this museum has priceless exhibits that rival those we saw in the National Archaeological Museum. If you are at Delphi, this is a must see … and you can walk through and see the exhibits in about an hour.

This ancient Greek temple is most famous for the oracle it contains, where pilgrims from all over the ancient world would come to have their fortunes told.
Reviewed By jimsZ2896HZ
Ruins set on an ancient, winding hillside road that led through Delphi. Doric columns and the foundation are about all that remain -- but the evocative setting is what you come to historic Greece to see. Stunning views. And you're in the middle of a great collection of ancient ruins up and down the hillside (theater, stadium, temples). Superb.
8. Proussos Monastery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 579 reviews
The Monastery of Proussos was named after the Icon of Panagia Prousiotissa from Prousa in Minor Asia, according to a legend painted by Luke the Evangelist. It is 31 km north of Karpenisi. It was build in the 9th century (some say 12th century). According to a legend the monastery was founded during the period of the Byzantine Emperor Theophilos (829-842) who was an iconoclast ( against the use of icons). To protect the icon it was decided by supporters of the use of icons to move it to a safe place. The two persons responsible to find a place for the icon who came in Proussos decided to stay here and to build a monastery, and they were the first monks who changed their names to Dionysios and Timotheos. According to legends they decided the place due to miracles that happened due to the icon and because they could not move the icon to another place.Part of the monastery was destroyed 1587 by a fire. During the Greek war of independence it was a refuge place of various heroes such as Giorgos Karaiskakis, Markos Botsaris or Lambros Katsonis. A large part of the monastery was destroyed , including many books and documents, by fire set by German troops in the second world war.

One very big monastery with watch towers all around and you have an amazing view of the canyon. The holy water is a mountain spring coming from the rocks.
