Delphi, Greece

After jet-setting around the Pelaponnesse, Katie and I headed to the Mountains to visit the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, site of the famous ancient oracle. The Sanctuary is beautifully situated against three peaks of a mountian ridge, very impressive especially in an earthquake zone.

The Sanctuary of Apollo
(Also, the center of the world, according to some)

This is one old Olive tree!

The stadium, at the top of the mountain, is amazing and has very few other tourists.

Katie and I did lots of illegal things in Delphi, including, but not limited to, hopping fences, crawling through tunnels, and 'posing' with ancient artifacts (yes, that's illegal in Greece, I am not making this up).

Katie finds the secret tunnel of the Pythia leading under the Temple of Apollo?!?

Finding the entrance to the tunnel, we had to explore it!
(sadly, the sections under the temple have collapsed, so no hallucinogenic fumes inducing visions for us, major bummer)
