Interesting places in it

1. Castalian Spring
The Castalian Spring, in the ravine between the Phaedriades at Delphi, is where all visitors to Delphi — the contestants in the Pythian Games, and especially suppliants who came to consult the Delphic Oracle — stopped to wash their hair; and where Roman poets came to receive poetic inspiration. This is also where Apollo killed the monster, Python, and that is why it was considered to be sacred.

2. Athenian Treasury
The Athenian Treasury (Greek: Θησαυρός των Αθηναίων) at Delphi has long been a controversial building: the date, the motive, and the meaning have all been debated over the past century. Among a long list of significant innovations found on the Athenian Treasury, historian Robin Osborne notes that " Theseus’ ‘labors’ appeared in sculpture for the first time as a set, along with the labours of Hercules"

If you have seen everything in Delphi already, take a look on the outskirts of the town. If you're visiting the area, you may want to check out something from the following list:
