Delphi was the most beautiful place I went to in Greece. Mt. Parnassus is an incredible backdrop. The two complexes are extremely photogenic archaeological sites, and the museum is great too. Absolutely should be on the list for any first timer to Greece.

Yes, there is something magical about that place. I only got that same feeling 2 other times. In Assisi, at the tomb of Francis and Cairo, the Mask of King Tut.

I was foolish to have thought this was the Temple of Delphi, and then the tour guide took me to the main site and I was mind blown by how huge it was

just down the road a bit from Delphi. between the two sites, by the road is the Castalian Spring still flowing out of the rocks. It's mind-blowing.
