El Monte Parnaso es una montaña en el centro de Grecia que se eleva sobre Delfos, al norte del Golfo de Corinto. El monte Parnaso ofrece muchas ventajas a la población de Grecia. En un lugar tranquilo, posee vistas panorámicas del campo y cuenta con olivares y colinas. La montaña también alberga lugares de interés de importancia histórica, arqueológica y cultural (como Delfos). Desde el punto de vista recreativo, las laderas del Parnaso proporcionan un medio para practicar senderismo (en las tres estaciones cálidas) y se puede esquiar en invierno. Sus nieves derretidas proporcionan agua a las comunidades circundantes, llegando hasta Atenas. La montaña está compuesta de piedra caliza y su roca contiene bauxita, un mineral rico en aluminio. En la guerra, Parnassus ha sido un centro de resistencia si era necesario, proporcionando cobertura y refugio a los partisanos.
El tholos del santuario de Atenea Pronoia (Ἀθηνᾶ Πρόνοια, “Atenea de la previsión”) es un edificio circular construido entre 380 y 360 a.C. Constaba de 20 columnas dóricas dispuestas con un diámetro exterior de 14,76 metros, con 10 columnas corintias en el interior. El Tholos se encuentra aproximadamente a 800 metros (media milla) de las ruinas principales de Delfos. Tres de las columnas dóricas han sido restauradas, lo que lo convierte en el sitio más popular de Delfos para que los turistas tomen fotografías. El gimnasio, que se encuentra a media milla del santuario principal, era una serie de edificios utilizados por los jóvenes de Delfos. El edificio constaba de dos niveles: una estoa en el nivel superior que proporcionaba espacio abierto y una palestra, piscina y baños en el piso inferior. Se decía que estas piscinas y baños tenían poderes mágicos e impartían la capacidad de comunicarse con el propio Apolo.
El Museo Arqueológico de Delfos es uno de los principales museos de Grecia y uno de los más visitados. Está gestionado por el Ministerio de Cultura griego. Fundado en 1903, ha sido reorganizado varias veces y alberga los descubrimientos realizados en el santuario panhelénico de Delfos, que data del período heládico tardío (micénico) hasta la era bizantina temprana.
El Templo de Apolo, dios de la música, la armonía, la luz, la curación y los oráculos, ocupaba la posición más importante y destacada del Santuario Panhelénico de Delfos. El edificio con la columnata parcialmente restaurada que se ve hoy data del siglo IV a.C.; es el tercer templo construido en el mismo lugar. El famoso oráculo Pythia operaba dentro del templo, el lugar elegido, según una tradición, debido a un abismo sagrado debajo del lugar que emitía vapores que eran inhalados por Pythia. Algunos escritores antiguos afirman que la Pitia entró en un estado de delirio y profirió gritos inarticulados, que luego los sacerdotes convirtieron en oráculos equívocos.
Los griegos contaron muchas historias para explicar los orígenes de Delfos. El sitio era originalmente sagrado para Gaia (también conocida como Ge), la "Diosa Madre" cuyo culto se centraba en la cueva Korykeon, en lo alto del monte Parnaso. Después de matar aquí una serpiente o una dragona (conocida como Pytho), Apolo tomó el nombre local de Apolo Pythios. Durante mil años, los peregrinos acudieron en masa a su santuario en busca de orientación. El apogeo de su fama se produjo entre los siglos VI y IV a. C., después de que la Liga Anfictiónica, una federación de 12 estados tribales, tomara el control del santuario tras la Primera Guerra Sagrada (595-586 a. C.). Como estado autónomo, Delfos obtuvo una gran prosperidad gracias a benefactores como los reyes de Lidia y Egipto, y el emperador romano Adriano. Nominalmente neutral, era un lugar de poder político.
Tesoro de los atenienses construido para conmemorar la victoria en la batalla de Maratón Desde la entrada del sitio superior, continuando cuesta arriba por el Camino Sagrado casi hasta el Templo de Apolo, hay una gran cantidad de estatuas votivas y numerosos de los llamados "tesoros". Estas fueron construidas por muchas de las ciudades-estado griegas para conmemorar las victorias y agradecer al oráculo por sus consejos que se pensaba que habían contribuido a esas victorias. Estos edificios albergaban las ofrendas hechas a Apolo; frecuentemente eran un “diezmo” o la décima parte del botín de una batalla. El más impresionante es el Tesoro ateniense, ahora restaurado, construido para conmemorar su victoria en la batalla de Maratón en el año 490 a.C. El Tesoro de Sifnia fue dedicado por la ciudad de Sifnos, cuyos ciudadanos daban un diezmo del rendimiento de sus minas de plata hasta que las minas llegaron a su fin abrupto cuando el mar las inundó. Uno de los mayores tesoros era el de Argos.
En este recorrido visitaremos Meteora, un lugar único y lleno tanto en términos de paisaje como de fe cristiana.
Kalabaka es una ciudad y sede del municipio de Meteora en la unidad regional de Trikala, parte de Tesalia en Grecia. La población era de 12.000 habitantes en el censo de 2011, de los cuales 8.330 en la ciudad propiamente dicha. Los monasterios de Meteora se encuentran cerca de la ciudad.

visita al monasterio de Rousanou en Meteora
Al dejar atrás la magnífica Meteora, no pasemos por alto la Batalla de las Termópilas del 480 a. C., que durante mucho tiempo ha sido tema de motivación cultural, ya que es quizás la última batalla militar más famosa de todos los tiempos. El monumento del gran Leónidas, rey de Esparta, en las Termópilas, adornará nuestro camino de regreso a Atenas al final de la tarde.
Después de reunirse con nuestro guía, comenzará su traslado al sitio arqueológico de Delfos con una duración total de 2 horas y 30 minutos.

Meteora was such a neat experience. There were a few monasteries there. Our tour guide was amazing. Panos was a wonderful driver. He didn’t rush us and he even let us stop at a neighbor restaurant which was so delicious. Panos had a lot of history information about every place we stopped. We loved having a private tour and I would recommend this tour to everyone. Excellent company and excellent driver!

Great day to Meteroa and Delphi. Chris was prompt, courteous, anticipated what was needed and full of Greek mythology information.
We took this tour in June. Our driver, Andreas, delivered a perfect day. He was very professional. The car, the driving, and conversation made for a completely enjoyable day. The convenience of being dropped off and picked back up at the entrance was worth it. It was a highlight of our trip to visit these locations in this manner.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had a lovely day with Panos. We will be sure to pass your very kind words along to him; he takes great pride in providing a professional and enjoyable service, so your praise will mean a great deal.

We are so pleased you would highly recommend him and would travel with him again. That is the highest compliment we can receive. We all look forward to the possibility of welcoming you back to Athens for another adventure in the future! Warmest regards,
Our driver Christos was very knowledgeable and friendly. This was the only tour we found that went to Meteora and Delphi in one day. It was a long drive, but we are very happy we did it. Both sites are historically important and spectacular to see. Because this was a private tour, Christos was able to customize it a bit to our specific interests. Would definitely do it again.

We absolutely loved this tour. Every single stop was amazing and our driver Christos was the absolute best!! He didn’t make us feel rushed at all and we got to experience soooo many amazing sights. Meteora is breathtaking, truly incredible. And then Thermopylae was so beautiful and so many things to learn and see in Delphi! It’s a long day but worth every single minute. Highly, highly recommend!

We booked the luxury private tour of Meteora, Delphi, Thermopylae. Our tour guide is Chris and he is AMAZING! We are a family of five (my husband and I and 3 kids ages 3, 12, and 7). Chris was very knowledgeable and we learned A LOT during this tour. It was very educational and made us appreciate history. He answered all of our questions. He also did some trivia and games for the kids. There was never a dull moment. He took care of our family especially our kids, kept us safe and kept us curious about Ancient Greek history. Definitely the price of this tour is worth it. It was long and pretty much spent all day but we got the most out of it, from cultural significant to amazing views. We stopped and took pictures at all the spots that had the most amazing views! We went to the archaeological and heritage sites and he gave us meaningful explanations on each of the places we went to. We also had lunch at a tavern where they served really good Greek food!!!! Our family had such an amazing time, doing all what we wanted to do and see and be gave us options as well.. we highly recommend this tour and Chris as the tour guide! You won’t regret it! Thank you Chris, we will definitely come back!

This was a great tour. It is a long day but so worth it. Out tour guide Chris is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind. He started off by taking us to Delphi because we visited during winter hours and it would be closed if we tried to do Meteora first. This is just one example of his forethought in planning your trip to maximize your time. The guys really knows what he is doing. You must use WhatsApp to make your tour extremely smooth as you contact him in WhatsApp when you finish at each site and he picks you up. The temple of Apollo is truly amazing. Chris gave us a history of Delphi and the Oracles. I won’t include any spoilers but just remember to ask him about the “belly button” of the world, Pandora’s box, and the Trojan horse. Then we had a 3.5 hour drive to Meteora. Now a different temple is closed each day and Chris knows exactly which one is close Dan drill plan your tour accordingly. We arrived in time to see Megalo Meteroro first as that one closes at 14:00. This is the biggest monsters with amazing views. We he best views of each monastery are from the other monestaries of course. While we visited the monestary Chris thoughtfully got my family gyros wraps that my sone thought were the best he ever had. That really saved so much time. The next monastery we visited was the monestary of Rousanou. This had a wonderful walk through a zen like forest leading to the monestary. Then we visited Varlaam. This is the second largest monestary and the lift to move goods up the mountain was very cool. Pro tip use the restroom here it cost a euro but these are the best restrooms with western style toilets. After Varlaam we had time for one more monestary and that was the Holy trinity. This has the longest hike of the 6 monasteries but hike is worth it as you feel like it is “For Your Eyes Only”. St Stephanos was closed as it was a Monday. We saw all 6 monasteries and went into 4 of them plus Delphi. But we weren’t done yet. Next we saw the battle of 300 and hot springs on the way back. Finally Chris took us to Taverna Paradise which is a totally legit tavern where every patron is Greek. I asked Chris to order and he took us on a culinary tour of the the tavern. We had chicken, pork, veal, milk fed lamb, lamb, and sheep. Also hamburger, a special salad that had pomegranate, grilled cheese, house wine, and a crazy amount of dessert. To feed six people it was 110 euros. But really this food could have fed 8 people or even 10. Finally at about 11 pm Chris dropped us off at our hotel. What a great way to spend the day. He is such a hard working guy and so professional. This is one of only 2 companies that will do a private day tour to meteora and Delphi and it is definitely worth it. Hurry up and book it asap. I went to yomadic.tours. The operators website directly saved me about 100 euros and I’m sure they get more also. I was a little hesitant at first but Andreas the owner communicates with you promptly and made me feel very reassured booking on their site.

What an Amazing tour!!!! Our guide and driver, Chris, is the Best of the Best! From the moment he greeted us, till we said goodbye, Chris made us feel so welcomed and valued.
