Athens - Delphi - Athens?

Question

Hello dear!
Tomorrow I am planning in paying a visit to Delphi, from Athens. I am thinking in driving from Athens through Eleusina to Delphi and return from Delphi through Livadia (?) to national highway to Athens! What do you think/ propose?

Thank you Christine, Angele and Alex for your answers! As turned out, I followed Alex's suggestion and I am already back in Piraeus. Thank you Angele! My friend was afraid of ships and thus we did not sail to Italy, next time I will follow the route you advised!
Christina, you are absolutely correct (again! - how do you make it without the experience of making mistakes?) Next time I will definitely visit the Osios Loukas Monastrery!

Answer 1

I always go to Delphi from the Ethniki odos Athinon - Lamias, through Livadia or Orhomenos. On your way, don't forget to visit the monastery of Hosios Lukas, I know you are more a fan of ancient monuments than of Byzantine, but we are talking about an artistic masterpiece and a world heritage site. Go for me, and then you'll tell me if you have regretted it (I bet you'll be happy you went).

Answer 2

The way you chose is perfect. You will not make the same way back (twice) and you'll see a lot of things.
I agree you must visit Osios Loykas, it is a very important Bysantin monument.

Answer 3

Since you seem to have doubts about the itinerary, let me propose to you another one:
Get a boat to Ancona (from Patras). Drive up to Venice, (feed the pigeons at St. Marc's quare), drive to Trieste, drive down through ex Yogoslavia, make a deviation from Skopia to Bulgaria, cross the boarder to Greece, drive from Thrace to Makedonia, eat bougatsa at Thessaloniki, reach Katerini and Larissa, drive to Livadia, Amfissa, Xrysso (where they sloughtered rams for Maria Pentagiotisas' sake), and then drive up Delfi. You can return to Athens onboard the golden charriot of Apollo...

Welcome back, Strato....
