From Delfi to the Holy Meteora

Last ancient site in Greece, Delfi, where are located the bellybutton of the world (below on the left), the Apollo sanctuary and its treasuries (below in the middle and on the right) and the Athena temple.

A few kilometers after, a delightful village, Arahova, a ski resort with never ending stairs, in which I could have wandered for hours.

Last stop in Greece, the Holy Meteora, monasteries built upon rocks which are « between heaven and earth », 400 meters above the valley. The first traces are lost in the mist of legend but the 1^st buildings can be dated from the 14^th century. Monks still live in some of them. The hundreds of steps mandatory to get to the top bring you to byzantine icons, old hospitals and dining rooms, still in use sometimes.
