What the operator writes about each stop
  1. Delphi Archaeological Museum

    The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the "navel of the world". Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious center and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world.

    Meteora’s breathtaking cliffs rise 400 meters above Kalambaka, offering a unique blend of natural grandeur and rich history. Home to six UNESCO-listed monasteries, originally built by hermit monks between the 14th and 16th centuries, Meteora is a place of spiritual serenity and awe.
