Can the itinerary be customised?

Private tours generally allow flexibility within the 7-day framework. Discuss preferred pacing, additional stops, or alternative sites with the supplier before departure.

Is the tour accessible for people with mobility challenges?

Meteora monasteries and Delphi archaeological site have steep paths and stairs that may be challenging for wheelchair users or those with significant mobility limits. Private transport is accessible; discuss your needs with the operator in advance.

What's the starting point and how do I get there?

The tour is based in Athens. Confirm with the supplier whether pickup is from your hotel, the airport, or a central meeting point, and what day the tour departs.
