More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on a country road as limestone ridges and olive-silver hills open like pages of history. The first morning light finds you at Delphi, where marble steps slope toward the Temple of Apollo and the air seems to carry the memory of questions once posed to a prophetic voice. Later, the road climbs past pine-scented valleys to Meteora, where sandstone pillars thrust skyward and monasteries cling to their summits as if refusing to leave.
