Still an awe-inspiring location for both Greeks and Europeans,
Delphi is a headquarters for international meetings, architectural,
archaeological cultural symposia, Congress of Ancient Drama
held under the auspices of the European Cultural Centre of
Delphi. Perhaps the organizers are reminded of these lines
from the "Delphic Hymn" by Angelos Sikelianos: "Without
your aid, 0 God, I will climb to the summit and alone, with
my wits and guts - my brothers will wait on the lower heights
- I will sing of the heart of Man, my heart" Sikelianos'
house still stands in the modern town of Delphi. Today's residents,
having superb facilities for tourists, welcome visitors for
as long as they wish to stay. Souvenir shops, restaurants
and hotels, both traditional and contemporary in style, stand
for both the Greece of today and the Greece of the year 2000,
Greece the member of the European Community. You can discover
this modern fascinating land, choosing from among the itineraries
proposed below, either using your own car, a rented vehicle
or the local buses. If you select the latter, you need to
have more time at your disposal, but you will have a unique
opportunity to get to know a Greece rarely seen by tourists.
