History
Delphi was the site of the Pythia’s oracle from the 8th century BCE; Meteora’s monasteries grew on eroded sandstone pillars as monastic communities sought isolation from the 14th century onward.
Conservation
Both sites are protected—Delphi as an archaeological park and Meteora as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—so stay on marked paths, avoid touching frescoes, and follow local visitor rules to limit erosion and wear.
