To tell you the truth, the ruins of Delphi can be seen in one day. This means however, that the visit will be hurried and very exhausting one (like ours). For the monuments of the sanctuary and the temples of the Marmaria are built on step terraces, involving considerable amount of climbing! I would definitely recommend a stay of one day and a half or even two days, which will give you the chance to visit the beautiful village of Delphi and the cosmopolitan (during winter period) village of Arachova. But let's say you wanted to see how Delphi would look like 200 years ago...well surprisingly on the exact position of the Archeological Site of Delphi until 1892 a small beautiful village, Kastro , was located. It was in 1893 when the first excavations started in Delphi by the French Archeological School. They had to pay the inhabitants of Kastro, which existed from the medieval era, to move their village to its present position. |
