Breathtakingly beautiful
This is certainly one of the most revered and legendary mountains and points of interest in ancient Greece. Mount Parnassus, 2457 meters tall, is considered by the Greeks as a symbol and home of the Muses and the god Apollo. Who was Parnassus? He was the son of Poseidon and a nymph (hence the creation of the Oracle of Delphi). According to Greek mythology, springs flowed from this mountain giving to beautiful fountains. The most famous of all is the surrounding Castalia, a mythical forest of laurels in honour of Apollo. There, at the fountain, the nymphs and muses would dance and sing accompanied by the god Apollo and Lira.
Mount Parnassus is one of the highest mountains in Greece and as you can see, at his feet stood the temple of Delphi. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it's breathtakingly beautiful. Mother nature is the protagonist with forests, valleys, rocks, wildlife. Simply one of the best views in all of Greece. There at his feet, you can enjoy such sacred and beautiful places like the Oracle of Delphi, Delphi Archaeological Museum, Pronaia Sanctuary of Athena, the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, and others. You can't miss it, it's really a marvel of Greek mythology.
