Delphi
Delphi is the site of the god Apollo’s sanctuary. People of all social standings from all over Greece would flock to this place, bringing their tribute, hoping for an audience with Pythia, the high-priestess and oracle of Apollo. Her prophecies even shaped state policy.
Among the sights that you’ll have a chance to visit there, are the Temple of Apollo, the Castalian Spring, the Temple of Athena Pronaia, the theatre and the stadium.
The museum hosts several world-renowned exhibits, such as the Statue of Antinous and the Charioteer of Delphi.

Thermopylae
On the way to Meteora we’ll make a stop at Thermopylae, where a handful of Spartans and their allies made their stand against the vastly superior invading army of the Persians, in 480 B.C. A monument in honor of King Leonidas of Sparta has been erected on the spot.
Over the course of millenia, the terrain has changed significantly due to erosion. A visit at the Historical Information Center of Thermopylae on site will help you understand every aspect of this historic event.
After Thermopylae we’ll be off to the city of Kalabaka where we’ll be spending the night.
