2 day Excursion to Delphi and Meteora from Athens

A 2 day trip to Delphi and Meteora, both Unesco monuments. In Delphi the greek god Apollo had his home and oracle which claimed to be infallible, Which were the means of divination? The local museum houses a unique collection of sculpture and bronzes, including the famous statue of the Charioteer. Meteora is breathtaking. Imcredible scenery, the ideal spot for the life of the monks. The interior of these monasteries is decorated with rich Byzantine fescoes and icons with glorious colours. I am excited when I do this tour because I absolutely love the nature of both sites and the contrast between ancient Greek and Christian art.
