Our takeAnastasia Antonova, editor

Set aside for travellers planning a seven-day private trip through the Peloponnese and Delphi. Meteora is one part of a route with overnight stays.

This suits a longer trip through the Peloponnese with Delphi and Meteora towards the end. Allow 168 hours away from Athens. The fare starts at €2417.94 per person. Your driver gives English commentary.

The route runs through Mycenae and Nafplio before Monemvasia and Mani. Olympia and the Arcadian villages come before Delphi. Accommodation is included. Breakfast and lunch are included too.

At Meteora you visit two monasteries open on the day. An extra sunset visit depends on time. Site entrance fees and a licensed guide cost extra. Agree the two morning monastery choices before paying.

From the operator

In EUDAIMONIA Tours & Experiences's own words, from the listing.

This is a tour for the experienced traveler who can easily leave behind the easy solution of using the big noisy city (Athens) as a base, to enjoy the magic of real Greece.

☼ Fun, informative, comfortable, safe, great food & drink! We have planned an experience! Not a tour for tourists!

☼ You will explore like a local the whole of the Mythical Peloponnese and then cross over the Rio-Antirio bridge to visit the "belly button" of the world at Delphi and the stunning Meteora monasteries.

☼ The Peloponnese itinerary includes both the well-known sites but also the amazing "for-Greeks-only " locations.

☼ Like all our multiday tours, this real Greek experience has an authentic and very flexible itinerary & is best suited for flexible people too.

☼ Expect top-class but unique too accommodation. If in doubt, please contact us or just read all the reviews.

For some, this tour will also be an authentic food & drink-tasting encounter which means you can skip the touristy food tours of Athens.

I write and edit everything on this site. Every figure on this page comes from the operator's own listing, read on 3 November 2026; the argument for or against the tour is mine.
