Which one, by who you are
- Ancient history first: Delphi, the sanctuary of the oracle, with its theatre and stadium up the slope. delphi-day-trip-from-athens.com covers the Delphi day trips in depth.
- The landscape and a living place: Meteora, where the monks and nuns still live in the monasteries on the rocks.
- Both, without two long days on a coach: a two-day tour that does Delphi on the way north and Meteora the next morning.
