Description:

Explore the heritage and architecture of ancient Greece on this 3-day tour to Delphi and Meteora. At Delphi, explore the rich history of the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary. See heroic monuments, and visit Meteora, one of Greece's largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries.

Day 1: Athens - Delphi
As you set out to Delphi, you venture further into the Greek mainland, passing the Boeotian towns of Thebes, Livadia, and Arachova. Once you arrive in the town, take the rest of the afternoon to yourself. Explore this archaeological site and explore the remains of this ancient city, including an impressive theater, the famous Temple of Apollo, and the Oracle. Take time to admire the scenic hillside setting as well before retiring back to your hotel for dinner.

Day 2: Delphi - Kalambaka
In the morning, enjoy more free time to explore Delphi. Visit the Museum of Delphi and see an exhibition of ancient artifacts, such as a bronze charioteer, the Naxian Sphinx, and the Statue of Antinous. Later, set out on a scenic drive to Kalambaka, a small town built at the foot of the majestic gray rocks that are crowned by the Meteora monasteries.

Day 3: Meteora - Athens
Head into the hills to see the towering rocks of Meteora and the cliff-top Byzantine monasteries built on the impressive natural wonders—one of the country's most unique attractions. On your way back to Athens, pass the monument of Leonidas, the King of Sparta.
