Travel on the mainland


Mt Paranassus


The valley below Delphi
When we got to Delphi The sun was setting and we found a hotel and a place to eat. We walked down the road and could look up the valley as the sun set.


A Shrine
These shrines were everywhere. This one had some Metaxa as an offering.


One of the preserved floors
At Delphi you could see some of the well preserved floors.
