TOURISM
Parnassos is only a stones throw away from Ancient Delphi
Delphi is located a mere 27km (16 miles) from Parnassos. Ancient Delphi was an important religious sanctuary to the god Apollo and home to the famous oracle of Apollo. It’s undoubtedly a phenomenally spectacular place and awe inspiring! Close to the main entrance to the archaeological site, you will also find a museum which houses the treasures and secrets of Ancient Delphi.
Another notable archaeological site worth visiting is the Korykio Andro cave. The cave was excavated by French archaeologists in 1969 and unearthed a tremendous number of objects dating back to the antiquity period.
