Start the journey, heading towards the region of Fokida surrounding the Mount Parnassos, famous as a literary and philosophical symbol. Through the city of Arachova, the Greek Aspen, the poshest ski destination in Greece, reach Delphi, situated in the same spot for thousands of years, which according to legend was the Navel of the Earth. Individuals from all over the ancient world visited Delphi to consult the God on what course of action take, in both public and private life. Before entering the Sacred Precinct (Sanctuary of Apollo), it is believed that everyone visiting Delphi for religion purposes, including athletes was required to purify themselves in the clear but icy waters of the Castilian Spring. This process principally involved the washing of their hair.
