Last September, I was backpacking with some friends along Greece. Among other places, we also visited Delphi. We took the bus from Patras and arrived after nearly three hours. We visited the Archaeological Museum, the Oracle and the Temple of Apollo. I remember the archaeological site was on a mountainous area and it was a very hot day! We had to walk up to the Oracle and when we reached the area, we were exhausted! However, it was worth the tiredness because we saw a special place. It was as if past would jump out of the ruins! The location and the view were also astonishing. We could see a valley of olive trees lying beyond our feet!
We spent the night in a motel in the city of Delphi and ate in a local tavern. The food was excellent, although I thought it was quite expensive. Later, we looked for a nice bar to go but all we found were cafes with low music. I guess things don't get very wild in this small city. The other morning we took the bus and continued our trip to Volos. However, my photos of the Oracle will remind me of this beautiful place…
