Meet your driver and your expert local licenced tour guide, after breakfast, early morning  and transfer to the most authentic and famous places in Greece. Along the way, you will see the plain of Beotia and you will also pass through the city of Thebes, the birthplace of King Oedipus. Your first stop is the battlefield of Thermopylae or Hot Gates, where the 300 brave Spartans, lead by their King Leonidas, fought for the freedom of Greece. Next, you will proceed to Kalabaka and Kastraki via Trikala and Karditsa. With your local guide, you’ll head to Meteora for a tour of the fascinating  monasteries and have a closer look at the holy rocks.

The UNESCO World Heritage site is home to more than 20 rock monasteries, either perched precariously on top of Meteora’s towering sandstone cliffs or built into the cliffs themselves inside naturally formed caves. The cliffs, which average a height of 1,000 feet, were first inhabited in the 9th century by a group of hermit monks who lived on the rock towers. Today 6 monasteries remain out of the original 20. Meteora combines natural beauty and cultural heritage- a fact that makes them a unique destination between the world’s monuments. Have lunch at Kalabaka and head towards Athens.
