Guided Acropolis + Acropolis Museum in the morning, then Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon by deluxe coach in the afternoon.
“This walking tour was really good. Our guide was so knowledgeable on the history and we learned so much. Loved visiting the Parthenon, it is pretty amazing. The 2nd half of our tour was a bus tour to Cape Saunion and the Temple of Poisedon. The bus ride was along the coast and it was beautiful. Overall it was a very nice excursion and I am gad I did it with a tour group.”
Two days from Athens to Meteora: sunset monastery views, guided hikes or minibus stops, hotel with breakfast, and time in Kalambaka.
“This is a wonderful tour of Meteora. The transport up was smooth and easy with a stop in a beautiful seaside town. The two local tours were perfect. The guides and drivers were so informative, friendly and made for a great experience. The only downfall is that you checking out on Day 2 at 8.30am and are dropped back in town at 1.30pm with 4 hours with nothing to do. We ended up renting a hotel room to get out of the heat. The transfer back should leave at 3.30pm after a break for lunch. Other than this is was a great tour.”
