Greece 360°: Athens, Meteora & the Peloponnese Coast
Greece 360°: Athens, Meteora & the Peloponnese Coast
The trip in a nutshell
Let’s explore the magic of Greece through three unique gems: Athens, Meteora, and the Peloponnese. A triptych of wonders, a symphony of culture and nature that captures the heart of anyone who ventures to this land steeped in myth and legend. It will be an immersion in the essence of Greece, where the past merges with the present.
In Athens, the cradle of democracy, we will walk the ancient streets of history in the majestic Acropolis and immerse ourselves in modern art in its vibrant museums. In the north, the spectacular rock formations of Meteora defy gravity, framing centuries-old monasteries that touch the sky. We will enjoy the mystical aura of this UNESCO World Heritage Site as the surreal landscape envelops us. We then descend into the evocative Peloponnese peninsula via Delphi, a world-famous archaeological site known for its sanctuary dedicated to the god Apollo. The site includes the famous Oracle of Delphi, where, according to mythology, the gods provided answers through the priestess of Apollo known as the Pythia. We finally arrive at the seaside in the Peloponnese, and enjoy a couple of days of relaxation and swimming in the town of Tolo before returning to Athens with a photo stop to admire the majestic Corinth Canal.

Discovering Athens
The Acropolis of Athens
Athens, the majestic capital of Greece, is a city steeped in history and ancient culture, blending a glorious past with contemporary vitality. At the heart of this fascinating metropolis stands a timeless symbol: the Acropolis. Imagine walking through the lively streets of Athens, where the aroma of delicious food mingles with the sounds of street artists and the cheerful voices of locals. Along the way, the urban landscape suddenly opens up to reveal the grandeur of the Acropolis, a sacred hill that stands out against the blue sky. Now, visualize everything well because that’s where we’re headed: a local guide will accompany us to uncover all the secrets of this timeless place.
In the afternoon, as the sun paints the horizon with warm hues, we will venture into the alleys of the Koukaki neighbourhood, right at the foot of the Acropolis, where residents, tourists, and students mingle in cozy spots that still retain the charm of the Athenian past.
Included: overnight stay with breakfast
Money pot: guided tour of the Acropolis of Athens and any other entrance fees, activities and transport on site

On the road to Meteora
Thermopoli and Trikala
Today, we bid farewell to Athens—at least for now—and set off towards a true wonder: Meteora! But, like all beautiful experiences, we must earn our reward with a scenic journey ahead. We leave Athens early in the morning and take a moment to stretch our legs near Thermopylae, a site rich in history, before continuing our adventure to Trikala, where a delightful lunch awaits us.
As we arrive in Kalambaka in the early afternoon, we'll be ready to unwind with a refreshing cold beer while soaking in the breathtaking views. Don’t forget your camera, as we’ll be treated to a stunning sunset over the majestic rock formations of Meteora—a perfect ending to an exciting day!

Meteora and Delphi
A Journey to the Monasteries of Meteora and the Sanctuary of Delphi
Good morning, WeRoaders! The time has finally come to visit the monasteries of Meteora—after all, that’s exactly why we traveled all this way! Meteora is a significant center of the Orthodox Church, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. On the slopes of Meteora, 24 monasteries were built, but only 6 are open for visitors today. We will explore 2 of them (depending on the day’s opening times) with a local guide.
After our visit, we’ll set off towards Delphi.
Delphi is perched on a hill at the foot of Mount Parnassus, not far from the Gulf of Corinth. The site is dominated by the sanctuary of Apollo, one of the most important sites of classical Greece, alongside those of Delos and Olympia. During the Mycenaean age, there was a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Gaia (Earth) here, but according to a story by Homer, the god Apollo took possession of the sanctuary, appearing in the form of a dolphin. This is where the name Delphi originates, marking the beginning of the new cult of Delphic Apollo in the last millennium BC.
The sanctuary of Delphi wielded great influence over politics, wars, and the life of classical Greece; many significant decisions in Greek history were guided by the religious authority of Delphic Apollo, interpreted through the oracle by the priests.
Will we also consult the oracle? One thing is for sure: it won’t be able to tell us the lottery numbers!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast, minivan with driver and guided tour of two monasteries in Meteora
Money pot: any entrance fees and extra activities
Not Included: Meals and drinks
Towards the Peloponnese Coast
A day of sun and sea in Tolo
Another day, another adventure! Today, we finally don our swimsuits because our first stop will be all about sun, swimming, and relaxation! On our way to Tolo, our final destination, we’ll take a break in Lepanto for a few hours of well-deserved rest.
Around lunchtime, feeling refreshed by the sea air and with salt still in our hair, we’ll continue our journey to Tolo, where we’re expected to arrive around two in the afternoon. Once there, we’ll spend the entire afternoon soaking up the sun on the beach—after all, Greece is all about the sea! Get ready to unwind, lulled by the gentle waves and the refreshing sea breeze.
Included: overnight stay with breakfast and minivan with driver
Money pot: any entrance fees and extra activities

The Peloponnese Sea
A day of leisure and culinary delights
Today, we have the perfect opportunity to paddle… or not?! The day is entirely at our disposal, allowing us to choose between unwinding on the beach, indulging in refreshing swims, and savoring delightful snacks, or embarking on an exciting kayak trip around the stunning island of Hydra. Whether you’re looking to bask in the sun or explore the crystal-clear waters, one thing is guaranteed: pure relaxation!
After satisfying our desire for leisure, it's time to turn our attention to our appetites. As grandma always said, the sea makes you hungry! We’ll feast on an array of mouthwatering Greek dishes, from hearty moussaka and sizzling souvlaki to creamy tzatziki and vibrant Greek salad. And let’s not forget about the freshly caught octopus—we want it all! Get ready to indulge in a culinary journey that will delight our taste buds and leave us craving more of the flavors of Greece!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast
Money pot: any entrance fees and extra activities

Let's go back to Athens
The Corinth Canal
On our last day in beautiful Greece, we’ll retrace our steps and head back towards Athens. Along the way, we’ll make a stop to admire a true marvel of art and engineering: the Corinth Canal. This impressive feat of construction has significantly influenced shipping routes and the economic development of Greece. Work on the canal began in 1881 and was completed in 1893, and its stunning views are a testament to its historical importance.
Upon arriving in Athens, we’ll head straight to the hotel to drop off our bags, and then the afternoon is yours to enjoy! For those eager to immerse themselves further in art and culture, this is the perfect opportunity to explore some local museums. For everyone else, there’s only one agenda: to savour delicious culinary delights and stock up on local delicacies to take home.
We’ll all come together for our final dinner, a special gathering to celebrate the end of an unforgettable week in style! Let’s make it a night to remember!

About WeRoad
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:
1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
2. Installment payments for certain countries only
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.
However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!
If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!
Tour List
Trip details page
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
