Local Tips
Start your archaeological site visit early to beat tour buses and summer heat. Many local eateries offer free dessert or fruit with your meal.
Cultural Etiquette
Tipping 5–10% is customary but not mandatory. Dress modestly when visiting monasteries or sacred sites; casual attire is fine elsewhere.
Safety Warnings
Delphi is very safe; watch for exposed ruins and rocky paths in the archaeological zone. Pickpocketing is rare, but remain mindful in busy summer months.
Hidden Gems
Visit the lesser-known Corycian Cave on Mount Parnassus, hike ancient footpaths to the village of Chrisso, or sip wine at family-run vineyards in the valley.
