Highlights of the Mainland: Delphi and Meteora, Spanish-speaking guide

Description

Discover the famous historical monuments of mainland Greece! With this three-day sightseeing tour in Greece from Athens including Meteora and Delphi you will visit some of the most interesting sites in Greece. Visit the archaeological site of Delphi with Apollo temple and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed rock-tower monasteries of Meteora. 

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS 

Delphi: At the foot of Mount Parnassos, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, which was the most famous Oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi is the second-most important archaeological site in Greece (after the Acropolis in Athens) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Meteora: In a region of almost inaccessible sandstone peaks, monks settled on these 'columns of the sky' from the 11th century onwards. Twenty-four of these monasteries were built, despite incredible difficulties, at the time of the great revival of the eremitic ideal in the 15th century. 

Athens: Explore the Capital of Greece on your own, with plenty of time for shopping.
