About this trip
A two-day guided run from Athens to two of Greece's biggest ancient and religious sites, travelling by air-conditioned coach with a professional guide handling the driving and the history.
Day one takes you to Delphi, the archaeological site once considered the centre of the ancient world and home to the Temple of Apollo, a place that shaped the politics of ancient Greece. From there you head to Meteora, where monasteries perch on towering rock pillars.
It's a compact, easy-paced way to see both sites without organising transport yourself, with everything explained along the way.
What you'll do
- Explore the Delphi archaeological site and the Temple of Apollo
- Learn how Delphi influenced ancient Greek politics and religion
- Visit the rock monasteries of Meteora, built atop towering sandstone pillars
- See a UNESCO World Heritage site recognised for its unique setting
- Travel by air-conditioned coach with a professional guide throughout
- Pick up from Athens is included at the start
- Guided throughout, so no need to plan the route or research the sites yourself
- Suits families and groups looking for an easy-paced overview rather than an in-depth solo exploration
Worth it if you want hassle-free access to two iconic sites with knowledgeable guides and decent value. Think twice if you need pristine hotels or have mobility issues at Delphi.
- Guides Anastasia and George genuinely passionate; driver Nikos helpful with luggage and accommodating to guests with limitations.
- Hotel cleanliness inconsistent—some rooms dirty and smelly despite advertised 4-star rating; one reviewer noted older but acceptable standard.
- Delphi temple requires significant walking; museum option exists but not clearly communicated upfront to those with mobility concerns.
- Lengthy bus journeys with downtime; bring entertainment. Food at Delphi museum site notably overpriced.
