2.3 Days in Meteora & Delphi with Tours & Hotel

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 97 reviews · 3 days · from $341

See Meteora at sunset, visit monasteries and Delphi, and stop at Thermopylae on a practical 3-day trip from Athens.

“Overall the trip was enjoyable. When in Meteora we had guides who were friendly and passionate about their town, which is great. But our trip to Delphi we were on our own. They provided us with an Audio tour guide which is only useful if you have data which I didn't have. We did run into problem with the farmers protest so a 3hrs bus ride ended up being 6hrs bus ride which cut into our tour times for both Meteora and Delphi.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 53 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $480

Review of the 3-day Athens tour to Delphi and Meteora, with guided ruins, monasteries, hotels, meals, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“It was a first for us and we enjoyed our trip around Greece. The 1st leg of the tour from Athens to Delphi was a real treat. Our guide Evie was a 'fire-cracker' and made everyone feel welcomed and excited about the trip. Her storytelling and positivity kept us all engaged at all time. On the 2nd leg of our tour we joined a different group. Meteora was also impressive, but it was Delphi that took our breaths away also because you had to climb up the hill in the heat. Both hotels were pleasant and beds were comfortable. The only downside was the food, which was less of a…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $1,319

Review of a three-day private Greek islands tour from Athens, covering Mykonos and Santorini with ferries, hotels, transfers, and optional cruises.

“This is a nice option if you don’t have loads of time to still see the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. We were picked up promptly from our Athens hotel and taken to the port. Our driver went out of his way to make sure we were dropped off at the right ship. The boat ride was very long, but overall passed quickly. When we arrived at Santorini, we spent 15 minutes searching for our driver. We had to make several calls and text messages before someone came to find us. He didn’t seem to know anything about our travels and had us leave our luggage in a random cafe…”

Review of a private 3-day Classical Greece tour from Athens, visiting Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia, Delphi, and scenic port towns.

This tour included visits to some of Greece's most important sights as well as visits to some of Greece's most picturesque little towns. The whole trip was perfectly planned and made the whole experience completely stress-free. When scheduling our trip, David, who was our contact with the tour company went above and beyond to make sure that the trip was tailored the way we exactly wanted it. Even though we were trying to schedule this trip from the US and there is a significant time difference with Greece, David's responsiveness was remarkable (we would get responses…”

Explore Mycenae, Epidaurus, Delphi, Meteora, Nafplio, and Thermopylae on a private three-day Greek history tour with four-star hotels.

“First of all the organization of this trip by Crispy Local was perfect for such a limited time. It enabled us to fulfill a lifelong dream of experiencing Ancient Greek archeological sites -- and letting us do it at our own snail paced, curious, inquisitive pace. The tour paired an excellent driver -- Giannis--with experienced tour guides/historians, a great itinerary and finally added awesome selections for restaurants and hotels that we would never have been able to find ourselves. Kudos to Giannis, our driver, who is such a fun, generous, delightful man! We enjoyed spending time with him so much-- which is something you might be concerned about if you're…”
