Delphi is
without doubt an experience not to be missed.
It underscores not only the principle of good real estate (location,
location, location) but the value of dramatic effect. In its time, Delphi was most certainly stage
managed well; the result being its reputation and wealth celebrated widely. It was considered the centre of the (Ancient
Greek) world.
As with many ancient
sites, items of value are maintained properly in a museum and Delphi’s is a
small gem. Textiles of course, have not
survived but we were able to grasp something of the splendour and glamour, of
wealthy citizens from the exhibits. Diaphanous
gowns, robust body armour and exquisite gold jewellery.
