Ancient Greece on Foot

The "Ancient Greece On Foot" tour starts and ends in Athens. It is a walking trip that takes 8 days taking you through Delphi, Agia Triada and Meteora in Greece. "Ancient Greece On Foot" is a self-guided private tour that includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

Discover the ancient sites of Athens and Delphi as well as the impressive 'floating' monasteries of Meteora on foot. Viewing the spectacular monasteries of Meteora, perched high on precipitous rock formations in central Greece, has to be one of the great travel experiences in Europe. The monasteries appear to be suspended in the air due to hermit monks choosing to build on such a remote site atop of ancient rock pinnacles that have weathered away over time. At sunrise and sunset, the light intensifies the dramatic landscape, whilst walking beneath the soaring heights offers a true appreciation of the scale of the monasteries and the dexterity of the builders who risked their life to produce the magnificent structures. On this self guided walking itinerary a few days are set aside to explore this centre of Greek orthodox spirituality, following in the footsteps of centuries of monks along winding paths between the rock towers. Another highlight of this walking tour includes a visit to the ancient site of Delphi on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, home to the Sanctuary of Apollo and the site of the ancient Oracle. With time to explore this fascinating site at your leisure we combine the visit with a walk along the ancient 'Skala of Delphi' footpath which provides incredible views to the Gulf of Corinth. We round off this exciting Greek walking holiday with a walk through Athens to experience the capitals ancient sites and culinary delights.
