DELPHI, GREECE- and starting our ULTIMATE GREECE ROAD TRIP …. we were so lucky! 🇬🇷
Welcome to the second video in our Greece series! Today we are getting out of the city and starting our road trip through Greece's mainland! We are heading northwest to the ancient site of Delphi and then we continue on to a place you’re going to have to see to believe!
Resting on the slopes of Mt. Parnassus is one of our favorite ancient ruin sites, Delphi. Ancient Delphi is considered one of the most important sights in the ancient world and was the site of the oracle of Apollo. What we truly love about this site are the incredible views you are able to enjoy as you hike up the sacred way learning about all of the history!
Thanks so much for watching and if you enjoyed this video make sure to leave us a comment and SUBSCRIBE!

It's nice to see people visiting mainland Greece, as opposed to the islands only. Greece is a mountainous country, but the mountains are always overlooked in favour of the beach destinations. Hope you enjoyed your trip here!

I always get so happy to see people like and appreciate my country, but not too many people visit Greece during winter and as a Greek, I can tell all these small villages def worth the travel! If you ever plan a trip like this trough the Aegean sea and the greek islands, Kalymnos, my island, also worths the visit!👍 Again, what a great job you did!

I did a similar trip in 2018 - I also was upgraded to a BMW. Must be a thing! Made driving around Greece that much more fun. Most surprising thing was the roads being in such great repair, way better than in the US.

My friend and I are traveling to Meteora in February, Thank you for the tip we will have to try and check them out. We are so excited to visit your country. It will be our very first international travel.
I hope you didnt missed the "Omphalos" which the ancient Greeks considred to be the center of the world. _According to the Ancient Greek myths regarding the founding of the Delphic Oracle, the god Zeus, in his attempt to locate the center of the earth, launched two eagles from the two ends of the world, and the eagles, starting simultaneously and flying at equal speed, crossed their paths above the area of Delphi, and so was the place where Zeus placed the stone. Since then, Delphi has been considered by Greeks to be the center of the world, the omphalos - "navel of the Earth."_ Wikipedia
Another great video. Below Mount Parnassos it will certainly be very cold this season.
Awesome place!🤘
Wow! BMW for$ 7 a day it’s cold weather have fun!

Great video and great setting. I wonder why you didn't ask for more bread? Next time you are in Greece, you should definitely go to Epirus (Zagori, Vikos gorge, Voidomatis river and many stone bridges, just ask the locals) and drive around the Peloponnese (Epidavros, Olympia, Mystras) , Nafplio, Mani, Ancient Messina, Polylimnio, Monemvasia, Kalavryta with the cogwheel train, Dimitsana, Lake Tsivlou).
Whaat? 7€ per day and you get an upgrade to a BMW? 😮 I think Sixt knew you guys were coming and wanted to sponsor the video haha... The scenery is breathtaking, wow! The food looked awesome, especially the Risotto I have to say 🤤🤤.. Loved the video! 😊😎

Greece is rich in history, all over the country, its the birthplace of the Olympic games in the year 776 B.C. is also very intrested to visit.. Also was Athens the birthplace of democracy in the 5 century B.C. Delphi was an ancient religious sanctuary dedicated to the Greek god Apollo. Developed in the 8th century B.C., the sanctuary was home to the Oracle of Delphi and the priestess Pythia, who was famed throughout the ancient world for divining the future and was consulted before all major undertakings.

Hey guys! I have been binging your videos for the last 2 hours, great work :) Can you elaborate a bit more on the 7$ dollars a day car rental? Because for Athens Airport Sixt the lower i can find is 27 euros a day for off season. Do you have some kind of special deal with your airplane tickets?

Really you rent a car for 7 euro? 3000 klm last summer. From Thessaloniki to monembasia. And you have to go there. And then neapoli and elafonisos 10 minutes ferry. Best beaches In Greece and nice tavernas with sea local food
What's the parking situation like for the archaeological site in delphi? Is there parking closer?
