Day 8: June 26, 2024
Kalimera!
We are in a very Greek summer!!!!!
The day started with the Guided bus tour of Meteora, this amazing rock formation and unesco site.
Since the 11th century some Christian Orthodox monks had settled here in the cave formations of those rocks, and later built monasteries to the top of those rocks. Today, out of 30 monasteries, there are only 6 left.
We drove around the site and took some beautiful pictures.
With Kostas we continued our drive south to Archeological site of the Sanctuary of Delphi!
The Mythology sets Delphi as the centre if the Universe, as this was where the two Eagles released by God Zeus met.
In the 4th century BC the Sanctuary of Apollo was founded here, and this is where important people( and not) use to come and consult the Oracle, to get advises by Apollo.
The Visit with the local guide George was very interesting....and hot!!!!
Finally we drove to our hotel in Athens, where we checked in and had dinner.
Ciao
