We felt quite smug as we left Delphi and there were already 15 buses at the site before 10am. We counted another 32 buses on their way to Delphi in the next half hour until we turned off the major road to head to the seaside town of Paralia.
We wound our way through sleepy villages until we arrived at the even sleepier Paralia, apart from a couple of old guys sitting on a veranda and a tiny pebble beach there wasn't any sign of life. We had considered staying there the night before so we were pleased we hadn't. We entered Artemida into the GPS and kept driving, eventually joining onto the official Marathon route. We have realised that no one takes any notice of the speed limits so we don't either.
Artemida was exactly the type of town we were looking for for our final night on mainland Greece. It is 15 minutes from the Athens airport and on the sea, with restaurants on the sand at the waters edge, so we booked ourselves into a room for the night.
