About this activity

A sweeping 2-day cultural tour from Athens exploring three of Greece's most significant archaeological sites: Vergina's royal Macedonian tombs, the monasteries perched atop Meteora's rock pillars, and Ancient Olympia's sanctuary. You'll combine UNESCO-listed landmarks with a refreshing waterfall hike and swim, guided by a historian-informed local expert.

Our trip starts from Athens, so get ready for the most unforgettable tour you'll experience in Greece!
This 2 day tour takes you to some of the most popular highlights of Greece. Along the way I'll give you a lot of info about history, mythology and culture. We'll enjoy our visit to Vergina (Ancient Macedonia), and the Royal tombs of Aigai-Vergina. On our way there, we'll have a couple of stops at Thermopylae and Dion. To save up our energy we'll spend the night in a charming town called Kalabaka (NOTE accommodation is not included. The accommodation for all, plus the driver's, must be done by the travelers), where in the evening we'll have free time for activities etc.
The second day we'll visit Meteora and Ancient Olympia/the Ancient "Sacred Forrest". To make this trip even more magical we'll go on a little hiking to a breathtaking waterfall, where we'll be able to take a dip in a near by lake. So don't forget to bring your swimsuits! This tour can be adjusted based on your needs.

Insider tips

  • ★Book accommodation in Kalabaka independently before the tour—the supplier does not arrange lodging, only arranges transport and guiding
  • ★Wear comfortable hiking shoes and pack your swimsuit separately; the waterfall swim is a highlight but requires planning
  • ★Start early from Athens to maximize daylight at Meteora and Olympia; these sites reward slower exploration away from midday crowds
  • ★The tour is flexible—discuss any specific interests (mythology, Byzantine history, outdoor activities) with your guide beforehand

Good to know

  • •Duration spans 2 full days; overnight accommodation in Kalabaka is your responsibility (not included in price)
  • •Bring swimsuit, sunscreen, and sturdy walking shoes for the waterfall hike
  • •Group size and exact pickup/drop-off location should be confirmed with supplier at booking
  • •The itinerary is customizable; confirm any adjustments before departure
