Sadly leaving our camper stop we head towards Delphi
On route we to the Cape of Melangavi passing the very pretty Lake of Vouliagmeni where we stop for a coffee.
We then go right to the tip of the Cape to see the Heraion of Perachora which is an 8th c BC religious centre.
Not much remains here but there is a large cistern and a few ruined temples.
It is all set in a very beautiful cove with crystal clear water.
Two ships heading to the Corinth canal.
A walk up to the lighthouse with the views completes our visit.
The entrance to the Canal from over ten kilometres away.
We return to the lake for a quick dip before driving around the interesting coastal road along past Schinou
At times the road almost disappeared.
By the time we pull away from the coast towards Thebes a thunder storm breaks out with rain and hailstones and a great rainbow near Arachove.
We arrive in Delphi at Camping Apollon in time for lunch outside and later had dinner in the restaurant.
Our beautiful view.
