4.4-Day Greece Highlights Tour: Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 79 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $760Top rated

Travel from Athens by air-conditioned coach to five landmark sites: Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora. A licensed guide connects the ruins, myths and countryside as you go. The four-day trip includes three hotel nights, breakfast, dinner, entry fees and time among Meteora’s cliff-top monasteries. Bring sturdy shoes and clothes that meet monastery dress rules.

“Very good tour and definitely recommended. Great guide + driver in Mando and Giannis. Hotel stays (a class) were surprisingly good except at Delphi which, as noted in others reviews, was a little dated/worn. Having a small pool there was a nice surprise however. I do wish we spent a little more time in Napfilon but can see how that would be difficult with the itinerary for the rest of the day (we arrived at the nightly hotel close to 7pm). Only knock on the tour is when our small 4 day tour (of 17) joined with a group of 27 after delphi. Changed the dynamic of the next day…”
