7 Days in Greece, incl. Athens and Delphi
The week-long route includes Athens' Parthenon, Delphi's Oracle site, and Meteora's monasteries. Visitors tour Olympia's ancient stadium, Mycenae's Lion Gate, and Nafplion's Venetian fortress. Accommodations at 4-star hotels like Athenaeum Grand and Europa Olympia.
- Days 1-2
Athens
Start your week in Athens with a full day at the Acropolis and main sites. "Visit the Acropolis early - by 8:30 AM before tour groups arrive and the heat builds." Walk to the Panathenaic Stadium, Temple of Zeus, and Parliament. Stay in Plaka or Monastiraki for easy access to everything and great local tavernas.
- Day 3
Mycenae & Nafplion
- Day 4
Olympia & Delphi
Get an early start at the birthplace of the Olympics. You'll find the archaeological site easy to navigate with clear signs. One visitor noted: "The Temple of Zeus foundations really help you imagine its original grandeur." After lunch, take the scenic 3.5-hour drive north across the Rio-Antirio Bridge to Delphi. If you get motion sickness, grab a seat up front for the mountain roads.
- Day 5
Delphi & Kalambaka
- Day 6
Meteora & Return to Athens
A key tip from visitors: "The monasteries have strict dress codes - women need long skirts/dresses (no pants), men need long pants, and everyone needs covered shoulders." Visit 2-3 monasteries in the morning for the best views. The 5-hour drive back to Athens takes you past Thermopylae, where you can stop to see the Leonidas statue.

Stay in Vitsa village's traditional guesthouses, where you can enjoy excellent homemade meals.
- Day 4
Vikos Gorge Trek
Take on one of Greece's most impressive hikes through Vikos Gorge. The 14km route takes about 6 hours with 1,150m elevation gain. "The section traversing Vikos Gorge was an absolute highlight - breathtaking throughout," one hiker shared. Start early from Monodendri village and pack plenty of water. You'll find natural springs along the way, but they're not always easy to reach.
