Itinerary
DAY 1: ATHENS – DELPHI – ARACHOVA - METEORA
Our driver will pick you up from your hotel, and we will start your private tour by moving north of Athens and towards Delphi. Our first stop will be at the Archaeological site of Delphi, which includes the Temple of Apollo, the most famous Oracle of the Ancient World for more than 16 centuries, the Theater, the Stadium that hosted the athletic events of Pythia, the Holy fountain of Castalia and the Archaeological Museum. Delphi has been on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1987. After you visit the site, you can have a traditional lunch at the village of Delphi. Later, we'll drive to the picturesque town of Arachova for a quick stop before we cross the Holy Mountain of Parnassus towards Meteora, a place uniquely sculptured by nature. We'll stay overnight in the town of Kalambaka, nestled beneath the Mountain, and view the spectacular sight of the rocky Mountain lit by night.
DAY 2: METEORA – THERMOPYLAE – ATHENS
After breakfast, we will visit a few monasteries that perch atop the magnificent rocks, reaching up to 600 m. UNESCO has characterized the monasteries of Meteora as a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage and included them in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1988. After our visit, we can have lunch in the town of Kalambaka and then return to Athens with a short stop at the memorial of the battlefield of Thermopylae and the monument of the Spartan King Leonidas, who fought with his 300 men and the 700 Thespians of Demophilos, against hundreds of thousands of Persians and all the Greeks were killed. Late afternoon, we will arrive back in Athens.
