Exploring the ancient centre of the world with @Vi Exploring the ancient centre of the world with @ViatorTravel ✨

Welcome to Delphi! Home to the sanctuary of Apollo and one of the most important historical sites in Greece. 

We took a day trip from Athens into the heart of the Greek countryside where our guide took us on a journey to the past, exploring relics of ancient times and learning the special history of this place.

It was so fascinating to see this site that once housed the most famed oracle in all of Greece, alongside temples and sanctuaries dedicated to both Apollo and Dionysus 🏛️

Thank you Viator for such a wonderful day out!

The magical interiors of the Chiesa del Gesù in G The magical interiors of the Chiesa del Gesù in Genoa (o Genova in italiano 🇮🇹) 

This building didn’t look like much from the outside and in-fact didn’t have many visitors, most favouring the far more famous Cattedrale di San Lorenzo just around the corner 

But we went inside and were met with one of the most beautiful interiors I’ve ever seen! 

I loved how the light danced from the windows that were dotted all around, no stained glass windows here as the focus is instead on the artworks and intricate gold details that line the walls ✨ 

Definitely one of those places where the more you look, the more you see

Visiting the Acropolis of Athens 🇬🇷 which vi Visiting the Acropolis of Athens 🇬🇷 which view is your favourite? 

The Acropolis of Athens houses several iconic structures, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaea, and the Temple of Athena Nike, all showcasing the pinnacle of classical Greek architecture and artistry.

Over the years the Acropolis (especially the Parthenon!) has been through a lot: looted, made into a church and finally a mosque depending on who was there 🕌 

Nowadays the Parthenon is undertaking a big restoration project, with a total of 360 ancient stones, many of them with new marble attachments, being reinstalled

🎟️ If you want to visit the Acropolis be sure to book your tickets in advance so you don’t need to queue, during the off season these are €10 per person
