Hi Everyone, 🙂

Sanjeev and I planned a suuuper hectic day. We did Delphi and Meteora in one day. Totally not recommended to do in a day because you’d be stretching yourself for good 15 hours. The best is to plan it for 2 days. But if you don’t have enough time, don’t miss either of these for anything. You can book a taxi. It’s quite expensive but you know how you cannot miss a Taj Mahal when you come to India, you cannot miss these two places when you come to Greece.

Anyhoo, sharing pics and some text from the mosts amazing day we have spent so far. I hope you enjoy the pics.

You can also follow me on Facebook and Instagram. We are in Santorini at the moment. Will share more posts soon. I looooveeee you. :-*

Delphi is both an archaeological site and a modern town in Greece on the south-western spur of Mount Parnassus in the valley of Phocis. In myths dating to the classical period of Ancient Greece (510-323 BC), the site of Delphi was believed to be determined by Zeus when he sought to find the centre of his "Grandmother Earth"

One of them is Aphrodite. She is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus.
