Excursion Itinerary: To Delphi & Meteoras From Athens
Early in the morning you will head towards Delphi via Thebes, Levadia, and the picturesque village of Arachova, on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Delphi was formerly called Pytho, due to the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as the seat of Pythia, the oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The ancient Greeks considered the center of the world to be in Delphi, marked by the stone monument known as the omphalos (navel).
Once in Delphi you will visit the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios, the Treasury of the Athenians, Temple of Apollo among other monuments and the Museum.
The afternoon is free for you to relax and enjoy your dinner tasting traditional Greek dishes and stay overnight at Delphi.
Greca Tip: Do not forget to wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
After your hearty breakfast, you will have the morning free to relax and in the afternoon, at the agreed time, we will leave Delphi for an interesting trip through Central Greece and the town of Lamia to Kalambaka.
Kalambaka, the closest town to Meteora, was burned to the ground by the Nazis in WWII, nowadays, however, it is almost entirely of recent construction. While not especially attractive in itself, it does occupy a stunning location immediately in front of some gigantic rock formations.
After enjoying dinner, we will stay overnight in Kalambaka.
Greca Tip: Take a stroll in Kalambaka's old town and look for handmade woodcarved objects and religious icons as well as home-made sausages, honey, fruit sweets and jams, and the regional pudding (“spatoula”) or “halva” for a sweet aftertaste.
Today, early in the morning, after your delicious breakfast you will visit Meteora, also recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1988. In this mysterious landscape, the natural beauty is combined with the compelling presence of the eternal monasteries suspended or "meteora" on top of the huge rocks. Currently, there remain only six in use, five for the male and one for the female monastic community.
On the way back to Athens, you will pass by Thermopylae, where you can see the statue of the Spartan King Leonidas I, famous for leading the battle against the Persians in 480 BC.
Arrival in Athens in the afternoon and drop off at your hotel.
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.
