Delphi, Greece

We arrived by bus from Athens (3 hours/about 15€), checked into our hotel, and headed out for lunch. Being in Delphi was a pleasant change after spending four days in Athens, where the streets seem to be controlled by Nigerian drug dealers and addicts.
Apart from a visit to the historical site, we spent our time relaxing.

Sightseeing in Delphi, Greece
Our main reason for visiting Delphi was to the visit the ancient ruins and the Temple of Apollo. We were both very impressed with the site (blog post HERE).

Eating in Delphi, Greece
Patriko Taverna. Our first meal in Delphi was lunch at Patriko Taverna. A big hunk of lamb in lemon sauce, it was so tender it fell off the bone, and a Patriko Salad, which was huge and consisted of a few varieties of lettuce leaf; green and red, cherry tomatoes, and apple, covered in a sauce of some sort, yogurt maybe? The meal was really good.

Gargadua Grill. We ate here a couple of times. We had roast chicken, and moussaka, both with Greek salad, both good meals. The food was good and hearty, the restaurant frequented by locals. The outside tables face the main road, so you can watch the village life over dinner.

The ‘In Delphi’ restaurant, is another decent place where we had lunch a couple of times. One day we shared a Greek salad, another day we both had linguine, Laura had a tomatoe sauce with her pasta, I had veal in a tomato sauce.
The food was o.k. but best of all was the ice-cold beer which was served in chilled glasses. Perfect.
Dense I caffe. On our last night in Delphi we popped in for a baguette and a drink. The bread was over-toasted and a bit too hard to eat, but as we were only peckish we were fine just eating the filling. I had hamburger in my baguette, Laura had turkey salad. The service was very good.

Summary
Delphi village is a nice place to spend a couple of days. The are lots of places to eat and drink, and no shortage of places to stay.
The only bad point is the fact that there is no tourist information office, and finding out details about onward buses is not easy, unless you’re heading to Athens.
Delphi, friendly, peaceful, beautiful scenery and views over the Corinthian coast.
