Private Multi-Day Tour from Athens to Delphi and Meteora
Activity Description
This 2-day tour of the Greek mainland is ideal for those looking to augment their vacation to Greece with a quick dose of ancient history.
Starting from Athens, the capital of Greece, we will take the scenic route through the plains of Beotia before arriving in Delphi. There are no words that can express the emotions that this holy place provokes. In the times of antiquity, Delphi was known all around the world for Oracle, who knew all the secrets of the ancients and could predict the future. You will see the sanctuary of Apollo, the ancient Delphic theater, and many other archaeological sites, as well as enjoy the magnificent mountain landscapes.
Meteora is the icing on the cake of our tour. The real geological wonder, gigantic rocks reaching heights of more than 600 meters and breathtaking landscapes were formed millions of years ago. Monasteries built on the pillars of the rocks are the real monuments to the power of nature and human faith.
