Delphi

Today we are visiting Delphi,  dedicated to Apollo,  and famous for the seat of Pythia the Oracle. Delphi was considered to be the centre of the world.

  1. Well, I'd rather naval-gaze that stone than my own (ha, looked up naval-gazing and it's from the Greek: Omphaloskeptsis!)!!

    And is that some random stranger you took a pic of?

    Fabulous pics - again, what history!!
