During

you should visit one of the most important
archaeological sites in this country Delphi.
You
ought to visit this place if you are interested in ancient
architecture
of Greece as well as you just want to have a good
time. You will be able to admire the picturesque landscapes and to
learn
more about the history
of Greece, during your visit Delphi. If you
decide to travel Greece, you should see such treasures of Delphi
as the Temple of Apollo, the theater, the Tholos and the stadium. And
of course, you should not miss the opportunity to admire the jewelery
of the ancient Athenians and Syphnias.
Different
tours in Greece
offer you to visit the ruins of the Temple of Apollo
or the Tholos with the guide. But you may enjoy these landmarks by
yourself during your moving
around Greece. All you need during your
visit Delphi is just to keep your way to the top of the hill,
because, as a rule, the Greek temples were built there. You will
admire the ruins of ancient buildings, which were constructed in the
4th century BC. Just imagine the greatness of the civilisation, which
existed in the remotest antiquity.
The
other place, which you should visit during your travel Greece is the
Delphi museum. You will be able to admire the beautiful and grandiose
statues, and the other numerous pieces of art in Greece.
You will be
astonished by the size and greatness of the Kuoroi statue. It seems
that this enormous statue is real and will start to move just in front
of
you. The other famous statue is the Charioteer
of Delphi, which is made of bronze.
The
best way of getting to Delphi is to go by car. You should
drive from
Athens to north
through Livadia right to Itea. You will admire the
picturesque views of Parnasos and Arachova, which are crowded in
winter. This journey takes one hour. If you travel Greece by car from
Patra, it will be more than two hours to get to Delphi, but you will
not regret, that choose this route. You will be able to see the best
places in Greece during this trip. So, you should go to the
Rio-Antirio bridge and afterwards keep your way to west, and admire
the amazing Korinthian Gulf during
your journey.
If
you decide to stay for a night in this area of Greece, you should go
to Arachova, a town which is located not far from Delphi. You should
notice that the prices are high during the winter in this
region, because
a lot of people travel to enjoy this ski resort.
