Ferry, Bus, Van, Car...travel from Hydra to Delphi

5/6/2022

Today is a dedicated travel day.  We took a 1.5 hour long ferry to Piraeus Harbor, then a 1.5 hour bus from the harbor to the airport, then a 10 minute van ride from the airport to the rental car agency, and then a 2.5 hour car drive to Delphi.  A crazy day, but necessary.

The ferry was pretty cool.  It was the Flying Dolphin, a hydrofoil ferry that goes 35 knots (40 miles per hour)...wow!

We arrived at the bus station, and the bus came in about 10 minutes.  The ride was supposed to be 1.5 hours, but the driver got us there in about 50 minutes.  Awesome...since we got to the rental car agency early we will be able to make it to Delphi before dark.

We picked up the rental (Volkswagen Polo), and drove the 123 miles (2.5 hours) to Delphi.  The driving wasn't bad.  We were able to avoid Athens so we didn't hit any traffic.  It was fairly flat roads, until it wasn't.  Delphi is 2,000 feet high, and to get here we had to drive through a mountain pass.  It was beautiful.

We made it to the hotel right at 8 PM.  There was easy parking along the street by the hotel.  oh...here is our rental car for the next 3 weeks.  Not a bad ride.

The room is really nice.  A comfortable bed, and check out the view from our balcony!  Amazing.

Tomorrow we visit all the ancient ruins here in Delphi.  We should also have plenty of time to walk around this beautiful town.
