The modern town of Delphi might be a bit overshadowed by the surrounding mountains and the archeology in nearby Ancient Delphi, but the town itself is very picturesque, especially in the off-season.
Delphi is a very hilly town, which leads to lots of stairs, and also lots of interesting architecture. Many buildings, such as the hotel we stayed in, have fewer floors on one side than the other.
Like all of Greece, Delphi is populated by many cats (and a few lazy dogs). They are strays in that they roam the streets, but many people seem to communally care for them. This particular spot on the sidewalk was a common feeding area and there were different cats there each time we passed.
Zorba’s Taverna seems to be no more but it was probably fun while it lasted.
There was a bigger, newer, fancier church across the street but I prefer the look of this simple small one. Google maps doesn’t seem to have the church plotted very accurately but I believe this is the Church of St. Constantine.
We had nice meals at both Agora Café and the Melopoleio Café . At Agora, the views rivaled our hotel’s. At Melopoleio we were able to sit outside, albeit slightly sheltered in a covered tunnel with an outdoor heater nearby.
But… Delphi is small, and every street eventually leads to the outskirts. There’s no arguing that’s where the real views are…
