3 Day Delphi & Meteora Tour | Three Day Meteora & Delphi Tour

Begin your journey with a drive through Levadia and the picturesque village of Arachova, known for its vibrant, multicolored carpets. Arrive in Delphi, situated at the foot of Mount Parnassus and framed by the twin rocks of the Phaedriades. Revered as the center of the ancient world, Delphi was home to the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. Mythology tells of Zeus sending two eagles from opposite ends of the earth to meet at Delphi, marking it as the “navel of the world.”

Explore the archaeological site and museum, which showcase Delphi’s rich cultural and religious history as a Pan-Hellenic sanctuary and the site of the Pythian Games, second only to the Olympics. Dinner and overnight stay in Delphi.

Enjoy a leisurely morning in Delphi, surrounded by its stunning landscape. In the afternoon, travel across the Thessalian Plain, known as Greece’s agricultural heartland, to reach Kalambaka. Upon arrival, take a short tour of the village before having dinner and staying overnight in Kalambaka.

Visit the awe-inspiring Meteora, a name meaning “suspended in air,” which refers to the remarkable rock formations hosting a community of 24 monasteries. These monasteries, Greece’s most significant after Mount Athos, are perched atop towering cliffs and were historically accessible only by nets or retractable wooden ladders.

The monks cultivated the fertile valleys below, growing crops like grapes, corn, and potatoes. By the late 14th century, the Grand Meteoron Monastery emerged as the dominant community. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Meteora is celebrated as a unique cultural and spiritual phenomenon.

After visits start the drive back to Athens passing through Thermopylae (Photo Stop). This visit can take place sometimes the second day( general notes).
