This morning we toured one of the most prominent archaeological sites in Greece. Everything you learned about Greek mythology in childhood comes to life here! Delphi was believed to be the center of the world in antiquity. The cult of Apollo in Delphi began around 800 B.C. and went on until the end of Roman times--for more than a thousand years! The sun was shining today and it quickly became very hot! We opted to stay in Delphi while our travel companions went to a restaurant outside of town for lunch. Although the Greek food is wonderful, after 8 days in the country, we opted for a change and ordered a "Greek" cheese and fresh tomato pizza! After lunch we visited the antiquities museum in Delphi and then returned to the hotel.
