The Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi consists of 5 separate levels. At the first level is the Agora (marketplace), where pilgrims can buy stuff for the offerings.
Second level are the State Treasuries. This one belongs to the city-state of Athens.
Third level - the Temple. This is where the people came to consult the Oracle. I wonder what the huge ramp was for.
View of the Temple from the fourth level.
Pit stop after visiting the Theatre on Level 4.
And right at the top is a stadium. Pan-Hellenic games were held here every four years.
This is where we stopped for lunch. Instead of lamb moussaka, we had zucchini cooked in olive oil.
On the way back, we stopped at a village for souvenirs. Apparently the villagers stopped the construction of a major road to ensure that tourist buses and cars will HAVE to drive through its narrow street.

Did you close your eyes and imagine how things were back then?
I ter'imagine' ada chariot race kat belakang u in #6.
Ubi,
Stadium tu untuk athletics je - siap ada training centre!!! But dulu2 ladies couldn't watch the men-only games because they competed naked - so I guess they had to close their eyes and 'imagine' too!
