Reviewed at 2025-05-14: A day back in time - We took our tour to Thermopylae & Delphi with our guide Costa. From the moment Costa met us at our hotel, he was ensuring we were comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. His commentary and our discussions along the way were always engaging and interesting. Even when it wasn’t directly related to the tour. He took a genuine interest in our country (Australia) and the similarities and differences to Greece. The Delphi site is amazing and worth the long climb to the stadium perched at the top of the mountain. Our optional lunch in the village was tasty home-made fare with stunning views over the valley to the gulf.
Afternoon Adventures: Exploring the Heart of Delphi
As the day progresses, the sun casts a warm glow over the ancient ruins, inviting you to delve deeper into Delphi’s storied past. The Greece Tour: Explore Delphi and Meteora offers an afternoon filled with exploration and discovery. Starting from Athens, this tour takes you to the heart of Delphi, where you’ll visit the Archaeological Museum, home to the renowned Charioteer of Delphi and other significant artifacts.
The Temple of Apollo, a focal point of the archaeological area, stands as a testament to the grandeur of ancient Greek architecture. As you wander through the ruins, the stories of the past come alive, painting a vivid picture of the cultural and spiritual significance of this sacred site. The afternoon’s clear skies and pleasant temperatures provide the perfect setting for a leisurely exploration of Delphi’s treasures.

He was with us for two full days and was able to fit so much within that time frame. The following day (on his day off!) he even sent suggestions for the next leg of our trip.
Evening Elegance: A Sunset to Remember
As the sun begins its descent, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, the evening offers a serene conclusion to your day of exploration. The Greece Tour: Explore Delphi and Meteora continues with a journey to Meteora, where you’ll embark on a “Sunset Tour.” This enchanting experience allows you to witness the breathtaking beauty of Meteora’s monasteries, perched atop towering rock formations.
The evening’s clear skies and mild temperatures create a magical atmosphere as you enjoy a traditional Greek dinner, surrounded by the stunning landscape.
