Hi all, after our very much needed night of sleep we were raging for a day of sightseeing at Delphi. Delphi was considered one of the most significant places in the greater Greek world. such leaders as Alexander the Great and Lucius Tarquinius Superbus (the last king of Rome) saught help and advice from the oracle from Delphi. to me the most entriguing site was its amphitheatre which held over 5000 spectators andthe acoustics are still unbelievable. But the location of Delphi at the foot of the majestic Mt Paranassus also contributes to the religious significance of Delphi. On top of that seeing the athletics track there was also intriguing as Delphi was the home of the Pythian games, a competition every four years amongst the Greek world. So njow we are off for dinner and a night stroll through Athens.
Ya!
