About this experience

Delphi and Meteora ("suspended in the air") in a 2-day/1-night private tour.
Why this tour?
Because of the quality of the ride, the great tour leader, the non-touristy lunch & drinks!
☼ After dropping you off at Delphi, stroll around the area on a self-guided tour to see the Temple of Apollo and Athina Pronaia. Then, enjoy a great lunch—your driver's treat —at a location where Greeks eat out.
☼ We arrive at Meteora early enough for an extra (but included) late afternoon visit to the famous rocks. We spend the evening relaxing at a great hotel facing Meteora.
☼ Next morning, we'll explore the monasteries, which were a very safe hiding spot for the monks from the Romans. Depending on your fitness and availability, you'll visit two or three amazing monasteries.
Heading back to Athens will include a couple of relaxing stops: one for a great lunch & drinks & a second at the Thermopylae battlefield of the famous 300 of King Leonidas.
