Highlights
  • Leonidas Monument - Leonidas, a Spartan king, is remembered for his heroic last stand against a massive Persian army at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. He led a force of around 300 Spartans (along with allied soldiers) who held the narrow pass for three days, buying precious time for the rest of Greece to prepare for the Persian invasion.

There’s a monument dedicated to Leonidas and his brave stand at Thermopylae. It features a statue of the king and often includes the inscription “Molon labe” (Come and take them) - a defiant response attributed to Leonidas when the Persians demanded their surrender.

  • Meteora - Meteora is a rock formation and a World Heritage site, hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries
  • Kalabaka - Kalambaka is a charming town nestled at the foot of the majestic Meteora rock formations in central Greece . With a population of around 12,000, it’s transformed into a vital tourist hub over the past few decades, thanks to its proximity to the breathtaking Meteora monasteries.
  • Theopetra’s Prehistoric Cave - Theopetra Cave is a hidden gem in Greece, located near Kalambaka. This prehistoric site boasts a remarkable history, with evidence of human occupation dating back a staggering 130,000 years.
