Showcase 2009: Greece
By Mr. Girard | January 31, 2010
We docked very early at Igoumenitsa, Greece the morning after our overnight ferry from Italy, and immediately we were off to the Meteora region in the north central part of the country. Meteora’s home to the famous rock-top monasteries; I always use For Your Eyes Only as a reference for those who may know movie. We enjoyed the tour and then relaxed in the sleepy town of Kalambaka, where we stayed overnight.
We left Kalambaka and headed to central Greece to see Delphi, the site of the storied Oracle. Here’s Team AZ trudging up the hill to the amphitheater.
It was hot and sweaty, but the mountains of Greece are absolutely stunning. After a tasty frozen treat from the site’s museum soon we on our way to Athens and our Aegean cruise.
More from the Greek islands next time.
