To Delphi

 

            What a magical journey! 

We departed Thessaloniki on the 1500 hrs bus to Delphi. At the station, contrary to what Alexander had been told, we did not need to change busses for Delphi! 

The route took us down the motorway, along the picturesque Gulf of Thessaloniki, 

 

we turned inland for Katherini, Larissa, joined the Gulf of Pagastikos at Volvos 

 

and arrived in Lamia. We left the motorway soon after and continued to Amfisa. We changed busses - yes we did - at A.      and continued to the pretty town of Itea on the northern coast of the Gulf of Corinth.

 

From there we began our climb to Delphi

 

It was magical, inspiring and humbling as we drove through Mount Parnasos national park. The landscape was breath-taking. The mountains were bathed in bright light as the evening closed in - I thought Apollo might appear in all his majesty - but alas no!! 

 

Just after 21.00 hrs, we arrived in Delphi. I hadn't noticed the journey as we had a10 minute rest stop every two hours. 

Dinner and rest and we await the discovery of Delphi tomorrow.
