We said good-bye to our colleagues, rented a car, spent 30 minutes exploring the Athens Airport roads before getting on the road to the Peloponnese!!! It was smooth sailing to Corinth…were we stopped to see the amazing canal and contemplated how Paul would have crossed 2000 years ago!!!
Emme was soooo not happy!!! She thought we were all going to die on the bridge!!!
From Corinth, we made the 119km trek through the mountains, where the roads turn from this…
to this…
Towns are built into the sides of steep mountains…
We stopped at this darling little town and had an amazing break from the twists and turns…I could have spent hours relaxing here, drinking iced capps and eating baklava!!!
Seriously…have you ever seen anything like this?!?!
The views were breath taking, the people were darling, the treats were fabulous, but I am so happy to finally be in Ancient Olympia!!! I wonder how long it took the first Olympic competitors to travel from Athens…I am sure it made our 6 hour trek over 200km seem like a piece of cake!!!
