ATHENS, GREECE — Oct. 1

Our next stop takes us to dramatic Delphi, dedicated to Apollo the God of Moderation and Music, and aptly named for its location within its unique landscape.

On this excursion we will:

* Enjoy a beautiful drive into the land of central Greece for approximately 11⁄2 hours.
* Take a rest stop along the way at the town of Levadia.
* Continue onto the foothills of Mt. Parnassos which dominates the site of Delphi and the valley below.
* Witness their breathtaking setting of Delphi’s ruins that still hide some of the spell of the ancient oracle.
* Enter the archaeological area with your professional Greek guide. Walk up the Sacred Way, past the beautiful small Treasuries to the Temple of Apollo, location of the oracle.
* See the Marmaria with the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia and the graceful Tholos.
* Continue on to the Museum with its superb collection of votive offerings and statues, including the world famous Charioteer.
* Enjoy a traditional country lunch on the outskirts of Delphi, near the village of Arahova.
* Have some free time before returning to the ship.
