Archaeological Site of Delphi

UNESCO World Heritage Site

The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the 'navel of the world'. Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious centre and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.

Mikro Chorio Village Tilos, Greece 

Mikro Chorio is a desserted village between Livadia and Megalo Chorio, the capital of Tilos. After the 1940s, the village was gradually abandoned and most of the inhabitants moved to Livadia. Today, only ruins of impressive buildings and stone built houses can be seen. The only thing that survives is the beautiful whitewashed church that dominates the village overlooking the valley and the sea. The main attraction of Mikro Chorio is the castle that was built on top of it during the 14th century by the Knights of Saint John. Over the years, Mikro Chorio becomes a relic of an old settlement.  A walk in the narrow alleys of the village is just an unique experience. This mysterious atmosphere is very exciting and relaxing.

Would you like to take a look at my visit to Mikro Chorio .
