What people love about Central Greece Tours
- Best of Greece
There were some inconveniences like not being picked up from the airport, Also Having two hotels on the post nights. The Hotels were very nice.
A fantastic trip cruising the Aegean Sea. Our guide Thanos wowed us with his enthusiasm for Evia and Greece, its history, its coastline, its food and all it has to offer. As a family we embraced life onboard, which was cramped in the cabins, but expected in a vessel of this design and age. Great, traditional food was prepared onboard for breakfast and lunch. And dinner was always an experience on Thanos’ recommendation. We shared this trip with a wonderful group of fellow travellers. Many laughs were had and friendships made. There was a change to our planned itinerary due to high winds but it didn’t detract from the overall trip. Swimming off the boat and the views when sailing were absolutely amazing. Evia is a beautiful, untouched island and I’m so glad we took the plunge and booked this trip.

The peak season for Central Greece runs from April through October with pleasant temperatures suited for outdoor exploration. Spring months of April and May showcase Meteora's landscape dotted with wildflowers. September and October provide comfortable temperatures around 20°C at Delphi with fewer crowds. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We went in September and the weather was perfect for exploring the ancient sites and monasteries not too hot or crowded."

How much time should I spend in Central Greece to see the main highlights?
A well-planned 3-4 day itinerary allows visitors to experience Central Greece's key attractions. This timeline provides a full day at Delphi's archaeological complex and museum another exploring Meteora's monasteries plus time to visit Thermopylae and traditional villages like Arachova.
