I've been compiling my experiences from an epic adventure through Greece earlier this year. Walking (/driving) in the footsteps of some of the greatest ancients, we travelled from Athens, up to Delphi, across the Rio–Antirrio Bridge, around the Peloponnese and back.
Such an Odyssey couldn't come without a video, and the scale of it has turned out to be big enough for several videos!
So with that, please join me on my travels in part two - Delphi! The centre of the Ancient Greek world, and place where Lord Apollo himself spoke through the Pythian oracle to utter his prophecies to thousands upon thousands of pilgrims over the centuries... myself included.
