Day 1:
Athens – Delphi – Kalambaka
We depart from Athens in the morning and we arrive at Delphi around noon. Famous for its theater, Temple of Apollo and ancient ruins, Delphi was considered the center of the Earth and the universe, and played a central role in the classical Greek world. We visit the archaeological site and the Temple of Apollo, famous for its oracle. In the afternoon, after (optional) lunch, we drive through Central Greece and the cities of Lamia (short stop) & Trikala and by crossing the Thessalian plain, we arrive to Kalambaka, a small town built at the foot of the majestic grey rocks, and crowned by the Meteora Monasteries (short stop for souvenirs). Overnight stay in Kalambaka
Day 2:
Kalambaka – Meteora – Athens
Today, we depart from our hotel in the morning for nearby Meteora for a tour to the cliff-top monasteries to visit two different Byzantine Monasteries, built on top of rock towers and providing fantastic views over the plain.
Meteora is included on the UNESCO world heritage monument list. The monasteries are perched on top of towers of sandstone, which for centuries provided totally inaccessible retreats for the monks. Meteora is considered one of the most beautiful area of mainland Greece and its monasteries are one of the country's most unique attractions. During our way back from the monasteries, we may make an optional visit to a factory of Byzantine-style icons. Late in the afternoon, we return to Athens passing by the heroic monument of Leonidas king of Sparta in Thermopylae (short stop for photos).
