An inspiring aerial view of Delphi

Yes, I know, there is a profusion and an endless supply of YouTube movies of all sorts. I am not always happy with the results but for some of them, I like to make an exception.


This time, it is about a recording made from a drone exploring the ancient site of Delphi. Nothing spectacular by itself but it gives a very clear overview of the layout of this sanctuary. One can easily recognize the modern path that meanders through the site as it passes along the Treasury of the Athenians, the Temple of Apollo where the famous oracle of Delphi was revealed, the well-preserved Theater and the spectacular Stadium

Delphi is one of those places that has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and is a must for every visitor to ancient Greece.
