Greece Question re: Nafplio to Delphi and Meteora
 
Is three days enough time to go from Nafplio to Delphi and Meteora and then back to Athens?

For example:
Day 1: Leave Nafplio, arrive Delphi mid-day; explore and stay overnight in Delphi
Day 2: Leave for Meteora, explore, stay overnight
Day 3: back to Athens (we would have the whole day to work with but would prefer to have some time in Athens on this day)

My understanding is that Nafplio to Delphi is about 3.5-4 hours, Delphi to Meteora about 3 hours, and Meteora to Athens is 4 hours.

Do you think this is too much driving?

This is all the time we have to work with on our way back to Athens and I really want to visit both.

Hello my friend,
my opinion is that up to the night of the 2nd day your programme is fine, but on the third day i think you will get tired of driving to athens and then having to go sightseeing, except if you then have a couple of days available in Athens to catch a breath...

Yes we would have another full day in Athens after that "day 3" before departing.

It's ok then, i think you can do it. Just have a looser programme on the 3rd day in Athens, rest in the night and on the next day you can carry on with most of the sightseeing.
Good luck!
