Best of Greece

Upon arrival at Athens International Airport, you will meet your personal guide and be transferred to your hotel. In the afternoon, you can relax in the hotel or go out for a city exploration on your own. Plaka, the old historical neighborhood of Athens is an ideal place to do a walk.

In the morning, drive to Delphi, which was revered throughout the Greek world as the center of the universe. Take a guided tour through the archaeological site. Apart from the most well-known Temple of Apollo, worshiping the ancient Greek god Apollo who is in charge of music, poetry, medicine and animal husbandry, you will also be amazed at the majestic theater, market and the famous Omphalos (navel of the earth). Later, head to the Delphi Museum for amazing sculptures. Finally, drive through central Greece to Kalabaka for overnight.

After a short drive to Meteora, you will see two Byzantine Monasteries (accessible by staircases and pathways cut into the rocks) standing atop of huge rocks with historical and religious treasures. Not only can you fully indulge in the unique natural beauty, but you can also appreciate the precious cultural collections. In the afternoon, return to Athens and stop at Leonidas Monument in Thermopylae.
