More about: Delphi
I visited Delphi on a single day trip some months ago. We took a bus from the central bus station in Athens, but I also heard is very easy to get there from Patra, a city nearby
Delphi, so you could probably add that to your travel, better than I did. The public cus leaves you in the village and then you take a taxi to the site. Delphi in general, was a quiet place, looked peaceful and sacred. We visited the temple of Apollo, climbing up the hill. Cann't say it was that easy, but the view from there rewarded us, more that we expected, with the green valley of olive trees laying under our feet. There is also a museum there, but we didn't visit it.
The view and the whole area was very beautiful and we preferred to stay outside. Also met some groups of tourists on a tour around the ruins. There are some cafes and bars at bottom and some places to eat, but still all quiet and calm, don't expect to go partying in Delphi. And something cute for the end! The place was full of little cute kittens running around! I don't know if it was only when we visited Delphi, or if that's something normal for the place, but you really cannot miss them. Little grey kittens playing around and they were actually quite friendly, used to the human appearance. I hope you will meet them, too.
