Visit the Delphi Archaeological Museum to complete the experience.
Tholos of Athena Pronaia
The sanctuary of Athena "Pronaia" (also spelled Pronaea, i.e., the one before the temple), was the first one met by the visitor who came to Delphi on foot from the eastern road, hence its name. Excavations have proved that at this spot lay an older cult site, possibly dedicated to Gaia (i.e., the Earth). Most of the Mycenaean figurines exhibited in the Delphi Archaeological Museum, including the notable seated figure on a tripod, were discovered here, and it has been suggested that they were ex-votos.
Arachova
Alongside Delphi, you’ll enjoy a stop in the picturesque town of Arachova. The town is known for its handmade crafts and traditional Greek architecture. Stop here for lunch, a quick coffee, and a bit of shopping.
