Over 600 years ago, Byzantine monks chose to build their monastic community perched atop these virtually inaccessible rocks. End your day at a family-owned taverna where you will savour a delicious meal with recipes passed down from generations.

This morning, continue to the ancient city of Delphi, one of Greece's most important religious centers during Classical times.
