About this experience

This two-day excursion beautifully combines ancient history, spirituality, nature, and unforgettable landscapes—offering you a unique glimpse into Greece’s cultural and natural wonders.
First day, you will visit Delphi, known in antiquity as “the Navel of the World.” Delphi was home to the famous Oracle of Apollo, where leaders and travelers from all over the ancient world sought guidance. Its setting beneath the slopes of Mount Parnassus, combined with its rich history and archaeological treasures, makes Delphi a truly magical place to discover.
On the second day, the journey continues to the breathtaking Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Towering rock formations rise vertically from the valley, crowned by centuries-old monasteries built at astonishing heights. You will have the chance to visit some of these monasteries, admire the impressive architecture, and enjoy panoramic views unlike anywhere else in the world. At the foot of Meteora lies the charming town of Kalambaka.
