Victorian Goth Invitations

January 11 January 12

autkowania last day - at the end decided to do a longer trip and see Delphi. Sorry - I do not know whether because of the winter or on any archaeological work, not all facilities were available. But what we saw we really liked. Large impact on the picturesqueness of residues the oracle was the location of land: on the mountainside with breathtaking views all around. It had to make a big impression at a time when Delphi were visited by the Greeks who want to know the future.




Delphi - Athenian treasury


ruins of the Temple of Apollo - here Pythia predicted



temple ruins of Athens - are below, on the other side of the road




mountain town at the foot of Mount Parnassos




Since going to Delphi, we passed snow-capped peaks of Parnassus (by the way the mountains themselves are amazing uplift: go to the plains - flat as a table, and suddenly grow out of it peaks over 2,000 meters), on the map and a guide came to us that a lot of the top can come - we decided to do so. We were able to enter more than 1700 meters above sea level - though the last meters overcame our autkiem slowly and carefully. Rather, the Greeks did not know such thing as winter tires - and there was snow. Nay - I will say more: we got to ski:) lifts did not work - because snow was not enough - but it looked like from space.


Parnas. Against a background of green surroundings, the snow capped peaks in the eyes pricked up



different face of Greece





so it looks like: flat, and suddenly - bam ! mountains.
