More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the coach and the Aegean light hits stone that is older than most maps. Coastal pines line the drive from Athens, and by the Corinth Canal the road narrows as if funneling you toward past empires. Over four days the landscape alternates between fertile plains, olive-scrubbed hills and the sheer sandstone pillars of Meteora that seem to push the sky upward.
