Greece...Outside of Athens!!!

Mariella and I left Athens 4 days before we planned and looking back we are very glad we did! There is so much history in Greece you could spend 3 months there and not see all of it. I am going to post some pictures of our travel through the countryside. Our first stop was at Ancient Corinth where Saint Paul wrote first and second Corinthians in the Bible. We also visited the Ancient sites of Mycenae, Tyrens, Epidavros, Olympia, and Delphi. If you do not know Delphi was considered the center of the world for centuries and was the spot where the famous oracle of Delphi resided.

I will not go into a lot of detail about all the sites here on the blog but we both learned a lot more about the mythology and history of ancient Greece. Enjoy!
