Delphi, Greece was never in my list. It's more than two hours away from Athens. I never thought it was included in our tour to Meteora. It came as a surprise.
Delphi is one of the most popular and important archeological site in Greece after the Acropolis in Athens.
Our guide was very good in her craft. She is an expert of the Greek mythology and history. I can't believe it, I was able to pass the road where Oedipus killed his father.
The ruins were unbelievably amazing.
Everything in Delphi was like magic, an old magic that came to life. I have only seen it in books when I was a kid and I was able to experience it live.
And these are the photos:
Because the Greek sun was too hot, I used this white shawl to help me cool down.
Afraid we could not catch the bus on time, we did not pursue in going up to see the stadium. No regrets.
While I was there, I was imagining how life was. How did they built their temples and sanctuaries without the equipment and machineries of today. It's amazingly and wonderfully beautiful. The wisdom, strength and multiple hands of thousands of people surely had built it.
