3 Days Tour
Delphi – Meteora
Day 1
Your driver will pick you up at your accommodation. Our first stop will be the walled monastery of Hosios Loukas and the village of Cheronea, in Central Greece. You will have 1,5 hour to explore the monastery, which is listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. Built in the early 10th century, it is the largest surviving monastery of the Middle Byzantine Period. Its mosaics and architecture are sure to impress you.
Later on in the tour, you’ll get the chance to explore the picturesque village of Arachova, and right after that we’ll be arriving at the “navel of the world”, Delphi.
Delphi was the most important sanctuary of the ancient world. It was the seat of the high priestess of Apollo and oracle, Pythia, whose prophecies even affected state policies. The site is full of tributes from all over Greece.
Among the sights that you’ll have a chance to visit there are the Temple of Apollo, the Castalian Spring, the Temple of Athena Pronaia, the theatre and the stadium.
The museum hosts several world-renowned exhibits, such as the Statue of Antinous and the Charioteer of Delphi.
We will be spending the night in the village of Delphi.
Day 2
You’ll have breakfast in Delphi, and then we’ll be heading off to Meteora. After a scenic 3.5 hour drive, we’ll reach the town of Kalabaka where you’ll have lunch.
Next stop, Meteora, an impressive rock formation which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The numerous monasteries in the area seem to be hanging precariously from the huge pillars of rock they were built on. You can hike up to three of them, enjoying the beautiful, natural trails on the way.
We will be spending the night in Kalabaka.
Day 3
Our visit to Meteora continues, followed by lunch at a traditional restaurant in Kalabaka. On our way back, we will make a stop at Thermopylae, where you’ll be able to visit the site and learn everything about the historic battle that took place there in 480 B.C.
We will make one last stop at Kamena Vourla with its fish taverns and traditional Greek cuisine, before driving back to your accommodation.

My wife and I took a 3 week cruise from rome to venice. One of the stops was a day in athens.
Upon getting off the ship in athens, there was an army of taxi drivers who were waiting to take the cruise goers on a tour.
We saw a nicely dressed man who had a nice mercedes, we approached him and upon greeting him he spoke perfect english.
We asked him if he could give us a tour and a have a nice lunch at a great restaurant.
Lambros gave us a wonderful tour of athens, sharing a vast knowledge of the history of athens, and commented on insightful landmarks. Lambros then took us to an amazing restaurant right on the water and made sure we were back to the ship in a timely manner.
Exemptional tour and great memories.

I met mr. Petropoulos one of those days when the agenda of a business trip is so full of appointments that you can’t push in a needle….
I was late to the last appointment before my flight back to Italy and my luggage was still in the hotel. The only option was really to ask Mr. Petropoulos to get my trolley while I was in the last meeting and then bring me straight to the airport. The risk was to remain in XX street and wait forever…well when I went out the bank Lambros was there with my bag in the car and I managed to catch my plane and be safe at home.
That was the beginning of a 16 years cooperation, always very professional , reliable and with a very good English which helps the communication. A real point of reference for me in Athens.

Labros and Athena Private Tours, thanks so much for the three day tour from Athens to Nafplio, Olympia and Delphi, and back to Athens. It was such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We were amazed to see and learn so many things in three days, so thank you so much.
As a tour guide you made the experience easy, fun and memorable, as well as accommodating for our children (they really loved you!). You are the most knowledgeable and passionate guide I have met and any question I had you were able and happy to answer.
We will be recommending your service to our friends and no doubt if we come back to Greece we will be using your services once again.
Many thanks

Thank you so much Lambros for our wonderful tour. We initially wanted to visit the islands only, but in the end we decided to book a tour in Athens, and we are so glad we did. We learnt so many things about the ancient history of Athens and your passion really made the experience great fun. The sunset in Sounion in particular was majestic and one of the most beautiful moments I’ve had with my wife. You also went out of your way to give us plenty of tips and information for the islands we were planning to go to, and we are extremely grateful for this.
We are definitely planning to come back to Greece and book one of your tours to see more of mainland Greece next time. Thanks again so much for the wonderful experience.
