The best outdoor activities in Delphi

The famous oracle of Delphi attracts thousands of tourists every year to visit the place where Gods and humans clashed in Ancient Greece.

The magnificence of this place derives from the two giant cliffs from Mt. Parnassos and the olive glove in the middle. A great place for a great variety of activities while visiting the temple of Gods.

Paragliding in Delphi is unique. The landscape will leave you breathless with the magnificent cliffs that rise from the two sides. In the middle you will find a small valley, an olive glove that ends on the sea. In Ancient Greece this was the temple of the Oracle. It's where all the great commanders of Ancient Greece passed to predict their future and take important decisions. It's exactly where Great Alexander stopped before going on his trip to conquer the world!

According to the legend, the temple of Apollo was the centre of the earth! Zeus sent two eagles to find where Gaia ("Earth), his mother, originated from... And the two eagles found each other over Delphi - and that's why Zeus called the place - "Omphalos" - meaning the centre of the earth. The breathtaking scenery gives you the impression that this is a magical place with great power due to the views to the valley.

The best thing you can do during your visit in Delphi is paragliding. The valley in the middle and the giant cliffs create the best scenery to take off and enjoy a flight while taking profit of the views to the temple of Apollo and the historical sights.
