On this day, we were visiting Delphi on day trip but public transport. Setting off from the Omonia Station on M1 to the Aghios Nikolaos just 3 stations north. From there, we walked towards the bus station with the traditional map in hand. We hit the Liosion main road, turn right, walked until we see the Liossion Service stop and turn right onto Gousiou road and arrived at the KTEL station.

Arrival into a little town
The Delphi town looks like one that had developed really nicely into a tourist location.

Delphi site was located before the town so we backtracked until we see the Archaeological museum of Delphi which we paid a visit first.
