Delphi Travel Blogs

From the top of Delphi we could see a lovely circular temple.... we asked and found it was part of the Delphi site.   The tickets were included in the one for the main site.  We were told a lot of people miss the lower temple: Temple of Athena.  The entrance was across the road.…

Itea is a cute little town....  We walked across the railroad tracks from the wharf into downtown.  As we walked to the bus station we saw a nice church.   I took a picture of the top of it...  quite a few people were outside and from their sad demeaner we could tell it was…

Greece - one of the most romantic places in the World ;)

In life, there are little things which can make you travel kilometers to see them. Someone knowing better than you what the results of your moves will be is a good example of that. This is called an Oracle, and this very word was shaped on what was done in Delphi.The whole hellenistic world was com…

Sunday, Fatima and I hired a private driver to bring us to Delphi and back. Yes it was expensive and yes I regret it, but what's done is done. When we got back, I booked my ticket out of here, to Naples, Italy. Thoughts & things I noticed in Greece:•The islands were really nice and the peo…

One of my favorite places in the world, Delphi, has some of the most amazing views "built into" the historical park. The Temple of Apollo was one of the most awe-inspiring places in ancient times, and being there, one can understand why this place became a place of spiritual reverence.  [J…

She responded to the questions of visitors while in a trance; her inarticulate cries were interpreted and written down by an …

Mum and I headed over to Delphi.  For those unaware, this was the most holy place of the Greek World.  It was the center of not only the world, but the universe.  In their beliefs, this is where Apollo brought the Cretan preists to carry on his worship.  It was where Zeus forced…

Waking up to a new day, I quickly ran to the window to look for rain.  To my surprise, it was still sunny!  It was already warming up outside and looked to be a great day, our last one in Greece. We had breakfast at the hotel and I printed out a map of the ancient site before we headed o…

I was first up and in the shower that morning, it was a disgusting bathroom and when I got water on the floor I attempted to sloosh it into the drain in the middle only to find that when I did a horrible smell wafted up. Breakfast was gross - there was some bizarre thing that looked l…

Hmm. not sure how I managed it, but i appear to be missing a day here.. Although I am not sure where this day was misplaced, so I am just going to correct myself here and at some point, reorder things if I feel like it is entirely necessary.  Anyway, the morning was left open to us to visit th…

Greece was our final destination for our Euro Trip 2009. We only had the opportunity to visit Meteora, Delphi & Athens, but these places were wonderful :)

I was not a big fan of Greek history and culture until I came here.

Our trip to Greece 2 weeks before the Olympics were held there.
