Delphi

Delphi ( ), ialah sebuah kawasan suci di Yunani dan merupakan sebuah Tapak Warisan Dunia. Dahulu ia dipanggil Pytho (Πυθώ) dalam legenda dan merupakan kawasan suci purba dan tempat Pythia tinggal, ahli nujum besar yang dirujuk untuk keputusan-keputusan penting di seluruh dunia klasik purba. Orang Yunani purba percaya pusat dunia berada di Delphi, ditandai dengan monumen batu yang dikenali sebagai Omfalos Delphi (pusat perut).

Kawasan sucinya terletak di lereng barat daya Gunung Parnassus. Ia mempunyai tapak arkeologi yang berkaitan dengan Nujum Delphi. Sukan Pythia dahulu diadakan di Delphi. Antara khazanah seni Delphi ialah Pelumba Kereta Kuda Delphi.

Di sebelah kawasan suci Delphi ialah sebuah pekan moden dengan nama yang sama.thumb|300x300px|Kuil Apollo di Delphi
