These two are from our day trip to Del­phi, most known for the Del­phic Ora­cle. It’s also a major site of wor­ship for Apollo, the god of the sun and prophecy. An inter­est­ing aspect of the cult at Del­phi is that Apollo shared the site with Diony­sus. Every year at the onset of win­ter, Apollo aban­doned Del­phi and left it to Dionysus.

Our class from afar in the ancient the­atre at Delphi.

From our day excur­sion to Agistri, a small island in the Saronic Gulf. Only about 1,000 peo­ple live there and it’s not an espe­cially com­mon stop for tourists so we enjoyed the quiet and easy­go­ing pace of the island. We had a blast bik­ing along the road which con­nects the two set­tle­ments on oppo­site sides of the island.

Thorikos, the ancient city we vis­ited writ­ten about here. These were taken at the site of the sec­ond old­est the­atre in the world, dat­ing from the 6th cen­tury BC, where we sang Old Nas­sau!
