July 27th - Between sea and mountains

Getting out of Athens was pretty quick and without any traffic. We changed a little bit our route at the last minute following some advises from a Greek friend. Today will be 423km along the sea with only national mountain roads.

The main stop will be Delphi, a famous archaeological site.

Delphi is best knows for the oracle at the sanctuary that was dedicated to Apollo.

We reached the site around 11am and went for a walk, looking for the best spot to take pictures. 

We took some pictures with our sponsors flags which bring us directly to the local police station for some official talk with the site director. It was forbidden to take pics for advertising and we did not know. Anyway, 1 hour later, picture were erased and the problem was solve.

The view for lunch was awesome...The Moussaka either...Stomach filled up, we hit the road for the 300Km remaining.

The Afternoon ride was even nicer than the morning. Crusing between sea and mountains with fresh breeze on the face. Smells holiday :)

The town are getting smaller and cuter. 

Small villages with narrow streets and roads, thats what we like to ride.

The Lefka Island will be our next 2 days relaxing spot...We miss clear blue water, so tomorrow will be a beach day !
