Excursion Itinerary: Delphi & Meteora Tour
Upon arrival at the port of Piraeus early in the morning, you will be transferred to the center of Athens to embark on our 2-day excursion to Delphi & Meteora.
Leaving Athens, the landscape begins to change from arid to majestic and imposing, passing through the area of Thebes, to the foothills of Mount Parnassus and Arahova.
On the lower southern slopes of M. Parnassos there are a pair of hills called the Fedriades, and it is here where the site of Delphi, the center of the ancient world or "navel" of the Earth is located.
Delphi dedicated to god Apollo, the patron of music and guardian of the sacred laws of Zeus, hosted the Oracle, the priestess whose profesies influenced states and individuals alike. Apollo spoke through her in an incomprehensible language, which was then interpreted by the priests of the temple.
You will walk along the Sacred Way winding up to the temple of Apollo, which was decorated with innumerable offerings made by Greek and foreign cities.
After this astonishing tour, you will leave the slopes of Mount Parnassus and head towards the plain of Thessaly where the city of Kalambaka is located. Arrival in Kalambaka, dinner and accommodation.
Greca Tip: During the short stop at Arachova look for the traditional woven carpets (flocati rugs), woodwork, dry wines, honey and the local cheese as a going-away gift.
Early in the morning we will visit Meteora, recognized by UNESCO a World Heritage site since 1988. Meteora is the place where the natural beauty of the region is combined with the eternal monasteries suspended or 'meteora' on top of the huge rocks.
The first monastery "The Great Meteor" was built by Athanasius after being expelled from Mount Athos and to escape from his pursuers. At the moment there are six monasteries in use, five of which house monks and one of them, nuns.
On our way to Athens we will go through Thermopylae, where the statue of the Spartan King Leonidas I stands in honour of the famous battle against the Persians in 480 B.C.
We will return to Athens in the early evening and we will drop you off at your hotel or the closest hotel
Greca Tip: Dresscode in the monasteries: Sleeveless clothing and shorts over the knee for men are prohibited. For ladies skirts and shawls are available at the entrance in case they don’t have such clothing to cover themselves.
