You step out of the air‑conditioned vehicle into a wind that seems to push the rocks taller — Meteora’s sandstone pillars loom like cathedral spires, their sheer faces daring you to look up. On day one the road winds past Mount Parnassus and the ski town of Arachova, then opens to Delphi’s terraced ruins where the contours of the valley still carry the hush of ancient oracles.
