Delphi – the sanctuary of Athena
The municipality of Delfi was founded in 1997 by the merger of the previously independent municipalities Delfi and Chrisso. In the administrative reform in 2010, a single community was formed from the eastern half of the Fokida Prefecture, where Delfi became a municipality. This new municipality with the town of Amfissa as an administrative center corresponds almost exactly to the territory of the province of Parnassida which existed until 1997, but was named Delfi after its most famous landmark, the ancient sanctuary Delphi.
