Archeological site and Museum of Olympia as well as a stop in Nafpaktos
Today we visited the archeological site of Olympia where the first Olympics were held in 776 BC. The ruins and setting were stunning. We then traveled to Delphi and stopped at the quaint seaside village of Nafpaktos which has an iron and bronze sculpture of Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes who fought as a young Spanish soldier in the historic Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Tomorrow, Delphi.
