Central Greece and Thessaly

This area of Central Greece includes the region of Thessaly, where the dramatic monasteries

of Meteora (above) are one of the main attractions. It also includes the ancient site of Delphi, which was the centre of the world to the ancient Greeks and is one of the most beautiful and popular archaeological sites in the country. It's easily reached on a day trip from Athens, either by bus or on an organised tour, and its setting in the foothills of the Parnassos Mountains is breathtaking. Just east of Delphi is the mountain village of Arahova, and though its main street is lined with souvenir shops during the day, to catch the attention of visitors on coach trips to Delphi, outside of those it's retained its traditions and rural atmosphere. You'll get some hearty food and wine here, and if you can be here in April for the Feast of St George, you'll have an unforgettable few days.
