At the World's Belly-Button -- Delphi Greece

We made another stop in Greece, at a modern small port city named Itea so we could visit one of the ancient world's most important sites, Delphi, home of the Oracle of Delphi. The Greeks called this center of the universe the "world's navel." We all took a ship's excursion 3000 feet up the mountain overlooking our ship to the location of the pilgrimage site that dates from 800 BC. There's an excellent museum there of artifacts unearthed by archaeologists over the past 100+ years which we toured. Then we walked up to the actual site where the Oracle prophesied the future for anyone who climbed the mountain to ask questions.
