Daily Tour to Meteora

We drive past the historical city of Thebes and the picturesque town of Leivadia. Continuing our journey through the mountainous roads, we reach Arachova. This picturesque village, perched on the slope of Mt. Parnasos, is a famous winter resort but attracts visitors all year round. Leaving Arachova after a short drive, we are at the “Heart of the Earth,” the Delphi Oracle, the ancient Greeks’ cultural and religious center. Going past the Castalia Spring, we come to the focal attraction, The Oracle. The Temple of Apollo is the sacred place where world leaders would come to consult the priestess Pythia and listen to her prophecies. Other attractions include the Stadium for the Pythian Games and buildings, and monuments dedicated to Apollo, the Treasuries, the Athenian Stoa, the Sibyl Rock, the Theatre, the Tholos, the Gymnasium and the Hippodrome. The Archeological Museum of Delphi houses a rich collection of sculptures and statues of ancestry. We stop at a local tavern for a traditional Greek lunch and continue our journey to Kalampaka. The town is on the foot of Meteora Rocks. Here, we spend the night, you can explore the town, shop, dine, and admire the impressive Meteora Rocks in the distance. On the second day, after a hearty breakfast, we checked out and set off to Meteora. It is a geological wonder, the huge, steep rocky mountain scraping the sky. On its cliff tops, monasteries were miraculously built. It’s beyond our imagination how they carried the materials to construct the imposing buildings and churches.
