Description
Explore one of the most famous sights of ancient Greece on this day trip to magical oracle of Delphi.
Arrive in Delphi, and visit the archeological site with the famous theatre, where you will enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and olive groves, and get an insight into the world of the Ancient Greeks. Visit the Temple of Apollo, the center of Ancient Greece, and its famous oracle.
In the Museum of Delphi, you will find a unique bronze Charioteer, the Naxian Sphinx, and the Statue of Antinoos, providing an amazing insight into Ancient Greek culture and history. After a lunch break, visit Athena Pronaia Sanctuary, the most photographed spot in Delphi. Then, head back to Athens via the beautiful mountain village of Arachova, situated on the hills of the Parnassus Mountains, where the tour will stop for a short photo opportunity.
After Delphi, we are driving to Meteora for the night.
Next morning, we will visit the breathtaking Byzantine Monasteries of Meteora, with their long history. Meteora Monasteries comprise the second most important complex of Monasteries after Athos, but stand out because they are built as if suspending from the huge rock formations in the heart of Thessaly these unique and enormous columns of rock rise precipitously from the ground. But their unusual form is not easy to explain geologically. They are not volcanic plugs of hard igneous rock typical elsewhere, but the rocks are composed of a mixture of sandstone and conglomerate.
Keep in mind that not all monasteries are open to visit every day, but you will be informed on the open monasteries in advance.
After the visit to the Monasteries and lunch on the way, you will pass by Thermopylae, the battle field of King Leonidas and his 300 men, and a series of important and developed towns in the Thessalian plain.
The tour will slowly bring you back towards Athens.
