Today we depart Athens for the countryside. Our bus will stop about every 2 hours so we can stretch our legs, use the bathroom and grab snacks or caffeine! We arrive in the town of Delphi and our hotel is a quick walk to the site and adjoining museum. Our local guide, Penny, takes us to the museum and then up into the mountains to see The Sanctuary of Apollo. The ruins are spectacular; one of the highlights of the trip. We take the hike all the way up to the stadium and then slowly take it all in on the hike back down. |
