Picked up by a prearranged taxi at 8:30. In our way to Piraeus to ride in the Celestyal Olympia to Mykonos. Not much to remark. After lunch we camped out in the Horizons lounge which is the circular lounge on top. Most people were sunbathing and taking advantage of all the activities . The ship is about what I expected. Outdated yet functional as a cruise. Most people are smiling and happy to be there. Cruise director said there are 23 nationalities represented. ...

Early 8:00 pick up after nice breakfast buffet G.O tours again. Guide is Catalina and we have about 25 - 30 on our half day city tour. Out of the bus for Pictures at modern Olympic stadium.

Guide took plenty of time to tell us about Lord Byron taking the reliefs to England and how wrong....

Ventured into the heat to walk the ruins. The temple of Hephisus is the best preserved temple in Greece. Gr...

As we walked in a sample of their gummy candy covered in powdered sugar was sampled( samples in Olympia too). Then a quick demonstration of how the art is produced from all handmade to Lithograph. It was a large gift shop. I tried to identify the St Barbara but they were not marked. Mili said” you h...

Late start this morning with bus leaving at 10. Tour only showed us a view of Athenia temple and did not walk down to it. You can already tell it is a hot hot day. I think Mili did not think some of the group could make the walk. Off to the museum and its treasurers then the hot climb to Apollo’s temple. Delphi is so interesting with its treasuries and world history and Oracle. After Mili finished her history lesson, we walked up above the theatre for pictures ...
