Today we went to Delphi, about 2 1/2 hours out of Athens. Delphi, situated on the slopes of Mt. Parnassus, was the home of the most famous oracle of the classical world. It was also thought to be the omphalos (navel) of the world.
The photos at the right include the sphinx (in the museum) and several views of the temple of Apollo and the valley below.
After our tour we had lunch at a restaurant overlooking the valley.
The most famous oracle of the western world???
