She was a very gentle and sweet person. Trip up to Fanzipan was great. Excellent views from cable car on the way up. Misty at the top so no view, but this is common. Great experience anyway.

12.Delphi and Meteora: 2-Day Bus Tour from Athens

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 65 reviews · from $292

Travel from Athens to Delphi and Kalambaka, then see Meteora’s cliff-top monasteries with a live English or French guide. The tour includes transport, entry fees, dinner, breakfast, and a four-star overnight stay. Guides may include Effie, PhiPhi, or George, though assignments can vary.

“Going to Meteora and Delphi must be done by tour/coach… and what Chatours have organised on your behalf, is both adequate and delivers on a trip to the monasteries with interesting commentary and thoughtful logistics. The ‘but’ only exists because it’s not my preferred means of travel, and to get to the rocks, it must be done via tour bus. The Amalia hotel had a great pool, so go there soon as you arrive. The buffet is ok, but like the hotel itself, it’s a little tired. If you’re on the fence about booking, choose Chat or Key because they both offer and deliver on the same thing, and you…”
