Delphi holidays

In ancient times, Delphi was regarded by the ancient inhabitants of Greece as the center of planet earth to be more precise – “the naval of the universe”. In the local parlance, Delphi was the “Omphalos” which literally means “Naval”.

In those days, the oracle of Delphi was a sacred place much venerated by the ancient inhabitants and was well recognized particularly for its accurate forecast of the future.

The oracles were bestowed by Pythia, the priestess who is most famous for her strange sounding sounds while in a state of trance.

The meaning of her utterings were later interpreted in a manner that were understandable to those pilgrims who visited Delphi in search of solace. From the average man on the street to the mighty emperors, everyone sought advise from Delphi’s Oracle if the matter was of great importance.

Matters varied from the routine every-day family disagreements, to the more important proposition of waging war against enemy states or to expand one’s territorial horizons.

The Oracle of Delphi cut across boundaries, and throughout its existence it offered neutral opinions without any bias or favor, whosoever the subject might be.
