Itinerary Olympia, delphi & meteora from athens
1 FROM ATHENS TO OLYMPIA - CRADLE OF THE
OLYMPIC GAMES
Today you will head towards the Corinth Canal, where you will
stop briefly to marvel at this famous channel that connects the
Aegean with the Ionian Sea. Corinth Canal is an impressive
engineering feat as ships do not have to sail more than 400 km
around the Peloponnese peninsula to reach the Ionian Sea any
longer.
Past verdant hills, you will reach Epidaurus, where you will be
immersed in the culture of the 4th century BC. Its world famous
Theater is the best preserved ancient theater in Greece. Its
construction was not planned as a separate site but was part of
the therapeutic and healing process, achieved through the
theatrical performances. World-renowned for its acoustics, it has
a capacity of about 16,000 spectators and is still in use today,
especially during the summer, when notable performances are
staged by native and international artists.
You will briefly stop at the first capital of Greece, Nafplion, and
then continuing your journey back in time, you will visit the
Acropolis of Mycenae, the center of the Mycenaean civilization.
In the enclosure you will see its Cyclopean walls, the Lions Gate,
various tombs of ancient kings, the Palace, the Cistern and its 99
steps underground, the Tomb of Egisto and the tomb of
Clytemnestra, while next to the Acropolis you will also see the
Tomb, which is believed to have been the burial site of King
Agamemnon.
In the late afternoon you will travel through central Peloponnese
 and arrive in the city of Olympia, where you will spend the night.
Greca Tip: Pamper yourself with the hotel's amenities or take a
leisurely stroll in the beautiful surrounding nature.

2 FROM OLYMPIA TO THE NAVEL OF THE WORLD

- DELPHI
In the morning you will visit the site of the ancient Olympic
stadium, where the first games were held at around 776 BC. The
importance of these games was widely accepted, given the
extensive participation of the Greek cities, which suspended
hostilities throughout the celebrations. The Olympiad was
recognized as the only chronological event all over Greece and,
basically, represented the period of four years between two
consecutive events.
Olympia was also the most important sanctuary of Ancient
Greece, a place to worship Zeus, the first among the gods. The
gigantic gold and ivory sculpture crafted by Phidias was
considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
After your visit to the Museum of Olympia, you will continue your
journey, across the suspension bridge of Rio - Antirion, a modern
engineering wonder, until you reach your destination.
Upon your arrival at Delphi you will have dinner and a well-
deserved rest.
Greca Tip: In the evening you can go in search of the traditional
character of nearby Arachova and enjoy a drink in a stylish café
or a local kafeneio (coffee shop).

3 FROM THE ORACLE TO METEORA, KALAMBAKA

In the morning and after a solid breakfast you will visit the
archaeological site of Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site and
the center or navel of the ancient world. It was here where the
renowned Oracle of Delphi, a counsellor of kings and pilgrims,
was to be found. Make sure you visit the Museum, which houses
the "bronze charioteer", a masterpiece of Greek sculpture.
At the end of your Delphi tour, you will leave the slopes of Mount
Parnassus and head towards the plains of Thessaly, where the
city of Kalambaka is located.
You will arrive in Kalambaka, have dinner and enjoy a good rest.
Greca Tip: The nearby village of Arachova is ideal for shopping
local products, such as the traditional woven carpets, honey and
the local formaela cheese.
4 FROM KALAMBAKA TO ATTICA - ATHENS
 Early in the morning we will visit Meteora, also recognised by
UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1988. In this mysterious
landscape, the natural beauty is combined with the compelling
presence of the eternal monasteries suspended or "meteora" on
top of the huge rocks. Currently there remain only six in use, five
for the male and one for the female monastic community. On
the way back to Athens, we will pass by Thermopylae, where we
can see the statue of the Spartan King Leonidas I, famous for
leading the battle against the Persians in 480 BC. Back to Athens
in the afternoon and drop off at your hotel.
Greca Tip: Dresscode in the monasteries: Sleeveless clothing and
shorts over the knee for men are prohibited. For ladies skirts and
shawls are available at the entrance in case they don’t have such
clothing to cover themselves.
Greca Tip: Take a stroll in Kalambaka's old town and look for
handmade woodcarved objects and religious icons as well as
home-made sausages, honey, fruit sweets and jams, and the
regional pudding (“spatoula”) or “halva” for a sweet aftertaste.
