Greece Summer 2025 - Part 8 Galaxidi and Delphi

 

Galaxidi. A tiny port town that smells like the sea with narrow alleys that test your driving skills. We stopped here for 2 nights because I decided that it made a good base for our day trip to Delphi. It wasn't peak season yet so even though there were many visitors in town, it wasn't super crowded. A lot of the visitors actually came by boat. There were several restaurants on the main road right by the water, and one of them turned out to be one of our favourite restaurants in Greece! The restaurant was called Skeletovrachos.

From Galaxidi, we did a day-trip to Delphi where they have a famous ancient site. This would be our first ancient-site visit in Greece. I was pretty excited to see the site because Greece is very famous for their ancient sites. However, aside from the museum artifacts, there weren't a lot to see. The heat didn't help either. Not that I'm saying that it's not impressive, but after seeing the ancient sites in Egypt in 2018, the ones in Greece just seemed less impressive.

One thing to note is that the entrance ticket to the ancient sites are not cheap, especially for us coming from Southeast Asia. However, Miss Kiki was able to enter the  site for free because she was under 17.

By the time we finished with the ancient site and museum, it was lunch time. We had lunch at a restaurant in Delphi called Taverna Vakhos. They had a patio with a view, and an extensive menu. We ordered food different from our usual Greek food menu, and they were all delicious!

After lunch, we had a bee and olive oil tour booked and that is for another post. Ciao!
