Take a trip to the Delphi Archaeological Museum

As for finding the best places to eat in Delphi, Goldsmith has a few must-try spots for foodies. "I enjoy eating a great meal and when traveling to great scenic destinations, it's even more exciting to eat a great meal and take in a great view and sightsee at the same time," he tells Parade.For starters, L'Aurige is a top pick for Goldsmith with generous portions, scenic views and delicious food.

Another great spot is Agora Cafe, with views of the olive grove of Amfissa and a menu filled with delicious vegan options.
