Palmette of Delphi

During our visit to Delphi in Greece, I gathered numerous examples of the palmette motif that was found within the ancient site. This decorative element appeared to be present in Greek architecture since ancient times.

I thought I’d also share some interesting artefacts found across the site - such a fascinating collection of art and craft brought here from around the world by those who were seeking Oracles prophecy and used the gifts as a means to receive preferential treatment, or simply cut in the cue!

Following on from previous records of the flora and fauna found on the lush Greek islands, here is an encore of interesting specimina found and thought worthy of sharing with those who appreciate the less obvious.

    This part of the blog is for all the curiosities we find along the way that do not relate directly to sailing or the route.
