Delphi

Lecture on the history of Greece (part II) by Dimitris again. At 9:30 we depart for Delphi with a new guide named Konstantina. She tells tales of sea battles, occupation by the Turks, and extra virgin olive oil. We stop at Clovino Beach for a break, the roads are relatively quite as this is day six of a truck driver strike so petrol deliveries are limited. At Delphi we hike up the Sacred Way past the Athenian Treasury to the Temple of Apollo. Some of us continue up to the Stadium at the top. Afterwards we climb back down to the museum that houses the famous bronze of the charioteer. Map Photos
