Full description

According to Greek mythology, Zeus sent two eagles from opposite ends of the world, and their meeting point at Delphi marked the center of the Earth, known as the omphalos or navel of Gaia. The location took its name from the word "delphini" (dolphin) as according to the myth god Apollo arrived there from Crete riding a dolphin. Between the sixth and fourth centuries BC, the Delphic oracle, which was regarded as the most trustworthy, was at its peak. Cities, rulers and ordinary individuals alike consulted the oracle, expressing their gratitude. With the app's GPS and map, you can freely navigate, pause, or replay sections to immerse yourself in the mythology and sacred legacy of Delphi. This is a digital audio guide available on the SmartGuide app. GPS-based audio plays automatically, even offline. Install SmartGuide on Android or iOS.

This is a scam you can download the app for free. It does not gain you entry to the site. The app also doesn’t pick up what sites you are visiting they are all jumbled up.

ARNAQUE, le site vend des "Billets d'entrée" où l'entrée n'est pas comprise. Il est ensuite indiqué que tout remboursement est impossible.
