Overview

Let’s explore two of the most important countryside sites of Greece!

Meteora and Delphi are definitely the most popular places to see in Greece. But we have a lot more to see and experience on this trip!

It’s not just archeological and historical interest. It is also the view and magical landscapes of a large part of Greece. But most of all, the myths and their teachings.

This is the different and strange privilege of Greece. While all over the world the mountains are just mountains, the springs are simple springs, the rivers are just rivers, here in Greece these places are the places of myths and the beginnings of today’s culture all over the world.

I think it is wonderful to fill images and emotions! For us that will be the goal!

Highlights

• Meteora
• Delphi
• Ancient Lilea on Parnassus Mountain
