Hi Everyone,
I get a lot of photo submissions from the trips that we plan with our customers. I was trying to think of a good way to share them with everyone without just making a standard, boring photo gallery. But, I was at a bit of a loss as to how to make it fun. Then it hit me…a contest!
So, from now on, Thursday will be “Travel Trivia Thursday.” I will post a picture of an unnamed destination so that people can write in with their guesses, and also a list of things that they would pack on a trip there. Post your guess and your packing list, and then after people get a chance to respond, I will reveal the answer. I’ll also highlight the person who answered correctly first so that the winner gets credit for their excellent trivia knowledge.
To make it fair I will also include a small hint with the photo, but if people are too good at this I might have to make it more difficult as time goes on.
Hint: This was once home to a famous Oracle.
Good luck everyone!
Safe Travels,

Delphi
I believe that your photo may be Delphi, Greece. We toured the area two
summers ago. If I went back, I’d be sure to pack my straw hat,
sunscreen and extra water. It was very hot the day we were in Delphi.
My friend almost fainted from the heat! It was worth it, though, for the
wonderful views and interesting ruins.
It reminds me of Stonehenge or Easter Island. I’m going with Italy. Perhaps near Lake Garda? If so, I’m packing an appetite and a bathing suit!
Delphi. The hint of the Oracle was a dead giveaway. What does the winner receive?
This is Didim, Turkey. The Apollon Temple which is an Oracle. This looks like the outside before the lead in steps. Pack your hiking shoes and water bottle. We also stayed at Alltinkum on our last visit. The beach is incredible.
