At the foot of Mount Parnassos, within the angle formed by the twin rocks of the Phaedriades, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, which had the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi was regarded as the centre of the world. According to mythology, it is here that the two eagles sent out by Zeus from the ends of the universe to find the navel of the world met. The sanctuary of Delphi, set within a most spectacular landscape, was for many centuries the cultural and religious centre and symbol of unity for the Hellenic world. The history of Delphi begins in prehistory and in the myths of the ancient Greeks. In the beginning the site was sacred to Mother Earth and was guarded by the terrible serpent Python, who was later killed by Apollo. Apollo's sanctuary was built here by Cretans who arrived at Kirrha, the port of Delphi, accompanied by the god in the form of a dolphin. This myth survived in plays presented during the various Delphic festivals, such as the Septerion, the Delphinia, the Thargelia, the Theophania and, of course. the famous Pythia, which celebrated the death of Python and comprised musical and athletic competitions.
The earliest finds in the area of Delphi, which date to the Neolithic period (4000 BC), come from the Korykeion Andron, a cave on Parnassos, where the first rituals took place. The remains of a Mycenaean settlement and cemetery were discovered within the sanctuary, but traces of occupation are rare and very fragmentary until the eighth century BC, when the cult of Apollo was established and the development of the sanctuary and the oracle began. The first stone temples of Apollo and Athena, who was also officially venerated under the name of Pronaia or Pronoia and had her own sanctuary, were built towards the end of the seventh century BC. According to literary and archaeological evidence other gods were associated with the sanctuary; these included Artemis, Poseidon, Dionysus, Hermes, Zeus Polieus, Hygeia and Eileithyia.
The sanctuary was the centre of the Amphictyonic League, an association of twelve tribes of Thessaly and the Sterea (south-central Greece), with religious and later political significance. The Amphictyonic League controlled the operation and finances of the sanctuary, as it designated its priests and other officials chosen from among the inhabitants of Delphi. In the sixth century BC, under the League's protection and administration, the sanctuary was made autonomous (First Sacred War), it increased its territory and political and religious influence throughout Greece, and reorganised the Pythian Games, the second most important games in Greece after the Olympics, which were held every four years.
Between the sixth and fourth centuries BC, the Delphic oracle, which was regarded as the most trustworthy, was at its peak. It was delivered by the Pythia, the priestess, and interpreted by the priests of Apollo. Cities, rulers and ordinary individuals alike consulted the oracle, expressing their gratitude with great gifts and spreading its fame around the world. The oracle was thought to have existed since the dawn of time. Indeed, it was believed to have successfully predicted events related to the cataclysm of Deukalion, the Argonaut's expedition and the Trojan War; more certain are the consultations over the founding of the Greek colonies. It was the oracle's fame and prestige that caused two Sacred Wars in the middle of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. In the third century BC, the sanctuary was conquered by the Aetolians, who were driven out by the Romans in 191 BC. In Roman times, the sanctuary was favoured by some emperors and plundered by others, including Sulla in 86 BC.

Aeolis Tinos Suites in Tinos
Our final destination in our travels through the Cyclades, Tinos, offers a fascinating and surreal journey through time. Welcome to the home of the God of the winds. This is the island of Tinos. So many islands, so little time... From the ancient Roman and Venetian occupations, to the Byzantine and Christian eras, it has some of the most impressive and unusual sights you will see in all of the Greek islands.
In a distance not too far behind me you can see Dilos, the home of Gods Apollo and Artemis, but here on Tinos, well this is the home of Vorias, the god of the winds and also the God of the sea himself, Poseidon, wherein his sanctuary right by the sea on the cost of Tinos. And it was here that the Posidonia festival was celebrated. The festival of Poseidon himself, where people would gather from all over the ancient Greek world, to celebrate this God and to ask for his goodwill, as they took on the winds and the seas and headed off around the Aegean, as a gift dropping small bits of gold into the ocean just as they were leaving. Wouldn't be great if we could start excavating there now? But, it is well protected, so don't come with your metal detectors anytime soon. Tinos also had another reason to thank Poseidon, not just as an island with islanders needing to take to the seas at all times, because Poseidon is also said to have rid this island off snakes and made it safe to inhabit once and for all.
This was a place that spoke to the dangerous and difficult nature of life, in these windy but wonderful islands.
What I love about this island is the way that they take such pride in monuments from all the different eras of their history. Here's a great example. This is a dovecote. Now, dovecotes were introduced to the island by the Venetians and of course they're homes for doves and doves are often the symbol of peace, but here on the island of Tinos, building a dovecote was also a symbol of prestige. There's almost a thousand of them on the island and nowadays they have been lovingly restored as a monument to a particular moment in Tinos' past. And this is just another example of the way the Islanders have kept to life practices and ideas from their past. Particularly, here today this is an island renowned for its stone cutting abilities. Abilities that have been lost in the mists of time in many other places.
This is the church of the Panagia Evangelistria, the Virgin of the Annunciation and it houses an icon that is one of the holiest in Greece and an important site of pilgrimage for Orthodox Christians everywhere, so important in fact, that they will come from the port on their knees of the carpet that runs the seven hundred meters from the port of the hill, to the church to show their veneration to the icon. And how the icon came to be known about is a wonderful story. It was during the Greek war of Independence, that a nun was guided by a divine vision to dig and to discover the icon in the ground, here on Tinos. Now, as a result, it was able to be placed in a beautiful church and act as a symbol of hope for centuries to come. The icon portrays the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary as she kneels in prayer, with the Archangel Gabriel watching on. It's said to have healing powers and thought to have been created by the Apostle Luke. And this is the very monastery where the nun Agia Pelagia had her vision of the icon. It's still an active memory to this day.
When Constantinople fell during the Fourth Crusade and as a result, the Byzantine empire fell apart and Greece became open to anyone who wanted to take hold of it, Tinos and the nearby island of Mykonos came under the power of the Venetians.
We've managed to explore many of the main islands of the Cyclades archipelago, but there are so many more we just didn't have time to visit. The history of the region is so vast and diverse, it can take years to fully appreciate.
As our journey ends we find Michael in Tinos village of Sternia renowned for the quarrying cutting and carving of marble. So, of course, the village itself is largely made of marble, the same stone that has built empires and humble dwellings for greek villagers.
Join me next time as we explore another set of greek islands in the Aegean on the eastern side of the Aegean Sea running up the coast of modern-day Turkey. The Dodecanese islands. We'll be on Rhodes, we'll be on Leros and we'll be on Symi. I hope you can join me then.

Samothraki (Samothrace), Greece | The island of the Great Gods HD
Long a vacation secret of the northern Greeks, Samothrace (or Samothraki) is beginning to open to international tourists particularly those who enjoy nature in its wilder forms. According to Homer, Samothrace was the island from which Poseidon watched the fall of Troy.Samothrace, a relatively small island in the North Aegean near Turkey, has made one major contribution to world culturethe magnificent sculpture of Nike (Victory) that gave its image to the Rolls Royce radiator cap and its name to the world's largest sneaker manufacturer. Nearly eleven feet tall, winged, headless, and armless, the statue is a masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture, summing up all the accomplishments of the Greeks at the very historical moment that their power was beginning to wane.
If you actually want to see Nike, however, you shouldn't go to Samothrace; the sculpture has been in the Louvre since shortly after its 1863 discovery by French amateur archaeologist Charles Champoiseau. What should draw you to Samothrace is a chance to see a less commercialized Greek island that remains rich in natural wonders one of the highest mountain ranges in the Aegean, with clear streams of cascading waterfalls and rock pools for swimming, a landscape that stays green through late summer, and a coastline of secluded sand and pebble beaches. And though the original Nike may be absent, her spirit lingers in the beautifully sited Sanctuary of the Great Gods where she was discovered, looking north over the ocean.
Ο ναός του Ποσειδώνα - Travel Inspiration
Ο ναός του Ποσειδώνα ξεκίνησε να χτίζεται το 449 π.Χ. με διαταγή του Περικλή και ολοκληρώθηκε το 440 π.Χ.
Για την οικοδόμησή του χρησιμοποιήθηκε ντόπιο μάρμαρο Αγριλέζας. Ο αρχιτέκτονας είναι άγνωστος αλλά είναι πιθανότατα ο ίδιος που σχεδίασε τον ναό του Ηφαίστου στην Αγορά της Αθήνας.

๛How cruise ships bring agonising death to last Greek whales
In an office up a steep hill in a seaside suburb of Athens, a tiny blue light flickers from a computer terminal. Dr Alexandros Frantzis, Greece’s foremost oceanographer, points it out. The light, he says, tracks marine traffic “in real time”. It is key to saving one of the world’s most endangered whale populations. “It logs the position, course and speed of a vessel entering Greek waters,” he says. “And that is vital to mapping shipping densities in areas populated by sperm whales.” Frantzis has...
Greece - Museum in Delphi - 2016. in (4K)
Delphi Archaeological museum is one of the principal museums of Greece and one of the most visited. It is operated by the Greek Ministry of Culture (Ephorate of Antiquities of Phocis). Founded in 1903, it has been rearranged several times and houses the discoveries made at the panhellenic sanctuary of Delphi, which date from the Late Helladic (Mycenean) period to the early Byzantine era.
Organised in fourteen rooms on two levels, the museum mainly displays statues, including the famous Charioteer of Delphi, architectural elements, like the frieze of the Siphnian Treasury and ex votos dedicated to the sanctuary of Pythian Apollo, like the Sphinx of Naxos. The exhibition floor space is more than 2270m2, while the storage and conservation rooms (mosaics, ceramics and metals) take up 558m2. Visitors are also catered to by an entrance hall, a cafeteria and a gift shop.First museum
A first, rather small museum was inaugurated on 2 May 1903 to celebrate the end of the first great archaeological campaign of French excavations and to exhibit the findings. The building was designed by the French architect Albert Tournaire, financed by a trust established by the Greek banker and philanthropist Andreas Syngros. Two wings framed a small central building. The arrangement of the collection, designed by the director of the archaeological expedition, Théophile Homolle, was inspired by the view that the architectural parts and sculptures should be put in context. Thus, parts of the main monuments of the site were reconstructed with plaster. Yet, the exhibits took every inch of available space, making the exhibition look pretty crammed.Furthermore, the museographic approach lacked any chronological or thematic arrangement. The quality of the exhibits themselves was thought to be self-explanatory. The first exhibition was thus destined more to the pleasure of the eyes than to any educational purpose.Despite the admiration it inspired to the Greek and international community, already in the 1930s the museum was becoming too small to accommodate new findings or the increasing number of tourists. In addition, its arrangement (or, rather, the absence of it) and the plaster restorations were being increasingly criticized. Finally, its entire appearance was criticized as a little too French in a period which insisted on Greekness. The construction of a new building was launched in 1935. The new museum was representative of the architectural trends of the Interwar period and was accomplished in 1939, including a new arrangement of the objects by the Professor of Archaeology at Thessaloniki, Constantinos Romaios. The reorganisation of the Archaic collections was entrusted to the French archaeologist Pierre de La Coste-Messelière, who discarded the plaster restorations of significant artefacts, including that of the Siphnian Treasury, which had become one of the principal attractions. The antiquities were presented in a chronological order, listed and labelled.
However, this arrangement was only briefly in use. The outbreak of World War II constituted a major threat to the antiquities which were put into storage. Part was kept at Delphi in the ancient Roman tombs or in specially dug pits in front of the museum. The most precious objects (the chryselephantine objects, the silver Statue of a Bull discovered three months before the outbreak of war, and the Charioteer were sent to Athens in order to be stored in the vaults of the Bank of Greece. They remained there for ten years. The charioteer was on display in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens until 1951. The region of Delphi was at the heart of the combat zone in the Greek civil war and the museum was not reopened until 1952. For six years, visitors could view the arrangement that had been envisioned in 1939. However, the museum proved insufficient and it was necessary to undertake a new phase of construction, completed in 1958.
The renovation of the museum was entrusted to the architect Patroklos Karantinos and the archaeologist Christos Karouzos was sent from the National Archaeological Museum of Athens to rearrange the collection, under the supervision of the ephor of Delphi, Ioanna Constantinou. Karatinos created two new exhibition halls and modified the structure to allow more natural light into the building. The arrangement of the collection remained chronological, but a greater focus was placed on the sculpture, with statues increasingly separated from their architectural contexts. The museum reopened its doors in 1961. and soon became one of the most visited tourist attractions in Greece: in 1998, it received more than 300,200 visitors, almost as many as the National Archaeological Museum of Athens in the same period (325,000 visitors).
