Hermes Hotel Delphi

... up with societies whose appellations are made up of three Greek letters – Phi Beta Kappa, for example.

Lunch at the Amalia Hotel in the new village of Delphi was tasty,and another good opportunity to begin some new friendships. With the political parades in Athens there were difficulties in getting all the tour group back to their hotels and we found ourselves dropped off at Syntagma Square after a circuitous ride through the city to drop off others ...

... admit.  At that moment, two trail bikes whizz across an unseen track right in front of me. The first fine drops of rain feather  my arm. That's it - the magic is well & truly broken... who needs to see some more old ruins anyway?!  I decide to turn around & hope to get down before it starts in earnest.
On the way, I loop across to what I think is Mt Parnassus and do a little dance of ...

... Ruins of Temple of Apollo even more striking. The natural landscape alone is breathtaking: 8,000 years of recorded history inflates the impression manyfold. The things they assembled here, with their technology & transportation, just beggar belief!

Near this area you can also see the largest olive grove in Greece (it's huge, it goes on for miles), and a channel that brings water from this area to the Athens area. The channel is interesting because it's just like a little man made river with no top on it or anything. From Delphi we went to a village called Kalambaka to spend the night. It was a couple hours away. We stayed in a nice hotel; however ...
