Greece Escape: Corfu, Athens & Sky-High Monasteries

Want a whole bunch of Greece in a small bit of time? Then buckle up for this whirlwind of a five-day, hostel-based adventure from Corfu to Athens. Get ready to cruise down the coast as you experience what the Mediterranean good life is all about. Olive groves, the quaintest of Greek towns, the most ‘Gram-able views, and the tastiest flavours ever are all in store — not to mention the good times that happen in the hostels along the way.

Day 1 Corfu
Arrive at any time, find a comfy spot in the hostel to relax or go out to explore before meeting fellow Roamies in the evening.

Day 2 Corfu/Meteora
While it’s hard to not be sad when you leave the island life behind, we have a feeling where you head next will make you do a happy dance. Travel to Kalambaka, the town next to Meteora via public bus and enjoy free time to explore the magnificent Monasteries.

Perched on insanely high cliffs there are six still available for visiting. They were built on these immense natural pillars and hill-rounded boulders and make for a once-in-a-lifetime sight. See as many as you can and try not to succumb to a fear of heights.
In the evening, you may want to relax in your hostel, play some games as a group, and show off those epic photos you took.

Day 3 Meteora/Delphi
Wave “antio sas”(that’s good-bye in Greek) to Meteora and Kalambaka as the group heads to Delphi on a public bus. Once you arrive you’ll have time to grab some lunch before joining your CEO to visit the Delphi Archaeological Site. Afterwards, take advantage of free time to view the exhibits at the museum, and snap some photos of the Temple of Apollo. Temples, and Gods, and Greek Mythology, oh my!

Day 4 Delphi/Athens
Sit back, relax, and think about the wonderful times you’ve already had as you transfer from Delphi to Athens. Head out on a CEO led highlights walk of Athens and lay your eyes on famous landmarks before visiting Shedia, a G Adventures—supported café where you will have a drink and learn about the mission of this incredible place.

In the evening let loose on your final night! Grab some cool beverages as a group and let those good times roll.

Day 5 Athens
Say goodbye to your Roamies and depart at any time, or keep the adventure going. It’s your choice and you don’t have to go home just yet. Right?
