Greece- Delphi

HPIM2646To start off our Greece adventure, Nisha and I visited the first of several Greek UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Delphi.  As usual we woke up early in order to ship off to our destination and slept on the way.  We had some trouble finding the bus depot since it was located off the Athens map we had.  Even with the directions the hostel desk worker gave us, we got lost, and the people on the street did not speak any English.  We made it though, and a few hours later we amidst mountains and were in Delphi!

Delphi is important as it was the location of the most important oracle in the Greek culture, the place where Apollo was worshipped, and was thought to be the center of the universe.
