A curated journey through the experience
Delphi Archaeological Museum
The Sphinx of the Naxians, dated to 560 BC, comprises one of the earliest representations in art of the demonic creature with a lion's body, bird's wings and a woman's head.
45 minutesDelphi Greece
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.
1 hour 30 minutesTholos of Athena Pronaia
OPTIONAL: The first photo you see when you google "Delphi" but still a place that most tourists miss out on!
30 minutesAmfissa
Driving on towards Meteora to avoid the touristy Delphi or Arachova we'll stop at a total of the beaten path location for our lunch with authentic choices, treat of your driver/tour leader.
1 hourMeteora
Day 2: Meteora (2-3 monasteries) & Thermopylae Battlefield
1 hourThe Great Meteoron Holy Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour
The Great Meteoron Monastery, built on an imposing rock, is the oldest, the biggest, and the most important among the monasteries of Meteora which are preserved today.
1 hourVarlaam Monastery
In 1350 a daring ascetic named Varlaam ascended to the rock. The monastery was named after him. He built three churches, a small cell and a water tank. After his death the rock remained abandoned for about 200 years until 1517 when the two priest-monks Theophanes and Nektarios Apsarades started to construct the first buildings from the beginning.
45 minutesMonastery of the Holy Trinity at Meteora
Probably the most photographed monastery. According to historical sources Holy Trinity must have been built between 1458 and 1476.
1 hourBattlefield of Thermopylae
We take a break at the Thermopylae battlefield location with King Leonidas statue. The Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas of Sparta, and the Persian Empire of Xerxes I over the course of three days, in 480 BC.
