That same manastery showing the cable car they use for local transport (not tourists) and the path we had to walk.

Similar spot from the pevious, showing the steps down the side.

Julie with our Greek guide, Bascillus "call me Bill".

Can't have too much of Meteora.

In the town centre of Kalabaka, near our campsite. Awesome sights everywhere you look.

The old Byzantine Church with the Meteora in the background.

Dinner at Sikia campsite south of Volos. Totally beachfront.

There are two sides to every dinner.

The Archeological Museum in Athens.

A bronze statue, probably of Zeus, over 2000 years old.

A bronze horse and jockey. Similar period to Zeus.

A marble statue. Stunning in their detail.

Typical of Athens. A very very old church stuck amongst modern buildings, and this is in the "old city".

The Flea Market in the old city.

The entrance to Plaka, the old city of Athens.

One of the monuments on Acropolis. We could only see it from this angle, not visible on the top.

Clear blue skies over Acropolis.

Some of the ruins on the way to the top of the Acropolis.

The entry gates to Acropolis. Not too many people here !!!

The old temple.

The Parthenon.

Inside the museum. One of the few places photos were allowed.

A shot out the window on the way the Delphi from Athens. Stunning scenery.

Driving through Delphi on the way to the campsite. Unlike Arachove, this was a one way street.

The view from our campsite 4km from Delphi. Villages, inlet, mountains, some still snow capped, what a sight.

The road from Delphi to the campsite. A novel way of losing altitude. Awesome fun on the scooter.

Another of the view from the campsite. Too good to only have one.

The town of Arachove. A delightful place.

Taken from the same place as above, showing the surrounding terrain. Breathtaking in real life.

Coffee in Arachove.

Tourist coach negotiating the road through Arachove. Doesn't look too bad, but it IS a two way road!

Another view of Arachove with the trusty scooter. This is the wide part of the road! Fantastic mountains.

Some of the many artifacts in the Delphi Museum.

More from the museum.

The Delphi site.

Pillars at Delphi.

More pillars.

Pillars and foundations. Pretty much all you get.

The Arena. Note the view.

Temple of Athena.

Our last night at the campsite in Delphi. About to dine with a million dollar view.
