Itea is a small port city on the Gulf of Corinth,wherefrom one reaches Delphi fastest on the slopes of the legend-surrounded Parnassus, the "navel of the world". The place itself is surely not one of the greatest beauties of Greece, since here mining was carried out for a long time, but in the area you can visit some sights and of course Delphi is hardly 10 km away, a fact that in any case has to be included in any journey.
Cruise offers to the port Itea (Delphi) / Greece
First the Hosios Lukas Monastery lies east of Itea. The village of Kirra is also worth seeing because it has a sandy beach and quaint colorful houses. But then one should soon go up towards Delphi or get a ride up. The view of the bay and the countryside with olive trees is terrific, but the experience to stand in front of thousand-year-old ruins around which entwine the central stories of European literature is likewise a lofty feeling. The famous oracle has already exasperated here some. Delphi itself is often very crowded, so rest is offered by the villages in the valley, where the Greek-Mediterranean cuisine can be enjoyed and the typical climate gives rise to the desire never to depart.
