Itinerary
The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the "navel of the world". Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious center and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.
Embark on a captivating journey through the Athina Pronaia Temple, where history, mythology, and stunning architecture come together in a timeless experience.
Meteora’s breathtaking cliffs rise 400 meters above Kalambaka, offering a unique blend of natural grandeur and rich history. Home to six UNESCO-listed monasteries, originally built by hermit monks between the 14th and 16th centuries, Meteora is a place of spiritual serenity and awe. Experience the extraordinary beauty of this ancient site, where nature and human determination combine to create an unforgettable journey.
Saint Varlaam Monastery is one of the six remaining monasteries built on the towering rocks of Meteora, Greece. It is an Eastern Orthodox monastery that is part of the Meteora and is situated at the top of a rocky precipice that is 373 metres above the valley floor.
Roussanou Monastery was built on a vertical pillar that is sixty metres high, and 484 metres above sea level. It offers a peaceful retreat with panoramic views, blending history, spirituality, and breathtaking natural beauty.
A small, peaceful village that from afar looks like an eagle’s nest at the bottom of the gigantic rocks of Meteora. There, you can enjoy an unforgettable lunch at a picturesque place.
The Holy Trinity Monastery, nestled atop one of the towering rock pillars of Meteora, is a place of breathtaking beauty and deep spiritual significance. Built in the 15th century, this remarkable monastery stands as a testament to human devotion and perseverance, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the monastic life of the past. Accessible by a steep path and steps carved into the rock, Holy Trinity Monastery rewards those who reach it with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The serene atmosphere, combined with its dramatic setting, creates an unforgettable experience that blends history, faith, and nature in perfect harmony.

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Manos on our trip to Delphi and the Meteora Monastries. He is an amazing person to tour with and gave us multiple layers of understanding of various historical data for each part of the tour. We are grateful!!
Excellent driver, great destinations & very comfortable ride. Arrived back in Athens knowing so much more about Greece & having seen a lot of countryside. Thank you!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Manners was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who provided a comfortable experience. We would recommend.
Very friendly guide, comfortable car. The trip is long, but if you have only one day to make both destinations, I totally recommend this tour, you visit beautiful and unique places in the world.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was hands down the BEST tour we got to do in Athens. Prepare yourself for a long day but trust when I say it is completely and totally worth it! The views and architecture you witness throughout the day is wonderful. Could not have completed our trip to Athens without THIS tour. Manos was the best tour guide, he knew EVERYTHING!! Literally everything!! If you book, make SURE to book with Manos!
What a day! We started out early with a pickup right at our hotel in central Athens. Manos our guide and driver has in depth information for the tour, explaining the importance of each stop in antiquity and modern Greece, which provided context to what we were seeing/experiencing. We enjoyed our conversations throughout the ride! Delphi is beautiful, the monastery’s are mind blowing (be sure to dress modestly, women should wear skirts, but they have wraps to wear in case) the lunch restaurant was traditional taverna and the food was unfussy, delicious, filling (after all the stairs to the monestery!) and good prices. This tour is a whirlwind of a day and worth every penny and mile. Ancient, mind blowing, enlightening.
Manos was great, very informative and nice throughout the tour. Extremely flexible with our needs and made sure to explain everything. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience as we were given the historical context around the sites. Kids and adults had fun learning and exploring. Def a day well spent
It was an amazing experience!! Everything was organized so well. From the time our driver picked us up till we got back we had amazing time!! The tour was a unique experience for all family. We saw so many things and our driver was a real tour guide. We visited so many differemt places that normally one needs a couple of days to visit. We saw everything in ine day tour and we didnt feel tired at all!! Kids also loved it!! We recommned it by far!!!
