12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 1

Leave for Delphi via Thebes, Levadia and the picturesque village of Arachova, on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, arrive in Delphi and visit the Archaeological Site.

Delphi was considered the center of the earth and the universe, and played a central role in the classical Greek world. Proceed though the sacred way to the Athenian treasury, the stoa of Athens, the temple of Apollo, where the oracle was and the theater.

After the visit, we depart through Central Greece and the cities of Lamia, Trikala crossing the Thessalian plain, to Kalambaka, a small town built at the foot of the majestic grey rocks, and crowded by the Meteora Monasteries.

Dinner and overnight stay in Kalambaka.
Day 2 Day 2
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 2

Savor breakfast in your hotel and then travel for nearby UNESCO-listed Meteora for a tour of the cliff-top monasteries.

Visit Meteora and enjoy a unique and most impressive scenery with ageless Monasteries, containing priceless historical and religious treasures, standing between earth and sky atop huge rocks. Meteora is considered one of the most beautiful and inspiring area of mainland Greece, and its monasteries are one of the country’s most unique attractions.

The monasteries are perched on top of towers of sandstone, which for centuries provided totally inaccessible retreats for the monks. It is also the biggest and most important group of monasteries in Greece after those in Mount Athos.

In the past there were no steps and the main access to the monasteries was by means of a net that was hitched over a hook and hoisted up by rope and a hand cranked windlass to winch towers overhanging the chasm. Monks descended in the nets or on retractable wooden ladders up to 40m long to the fertile valleys below to grow grapes, corn and potatoes. Each community developed its own resources and by the end of the 14th century, the Grand Meteoron emerged as the dominant community. The rock monasteries have been characterized by UNESCO as a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage.

You will enjoy a guided tour of two of the six monasteries. Then you will start your drive back to Athens. On the way you will stop to visit the monument of Leonidas where the 300 Spartans fought against the Persian army at Thermopylae (Hot Gates) - short stop to see across the road the Leonida’s Monument.

Continuing our journey, we arrive in Athens early in the evening.
