Meteora & Vergina Tour
Meet your driver at the agreed-upon location in Athens and arrive at the breathtaking Meteora, where you will visit many monasteries built on top of 1000 foot rocks, such as the Holy Monastery of Varlaam, Rousanou and the Holy Trinity.
Take a break for a coffee at Kalabaka. You are going to stay there for 2 hours.
Move to the ancient city of Vergina. Vergina is best known as the site of ancient Aigai, the first capital of Macedon. The ancient site was discovered in 1976 and excavated under the leadership of archaeologist Manolis Andronikos. The excavation unearthed the burial sites of many kings of Macedon, including the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, which, unlike so many other tombs, had not been disturbed or looted. It is also the site of a vast royal palace. Visit the archaeological museum of Vergina, which was built to house all the artefacts found at the site.
Head back to Athens.
