Not easy to walk, there are mountain roads, and there is no street lamp at that time. Unless you start immediately after sunset, it has not been completely dark at that time. You can join a tour group, take a boat to watch the sunset, and the shipping company will pick up and drop off in Fira.

Thank you very much! My family's itinerary has changed, someone has something urgent to go back on the early morning flight of the 14th, so we will stay in Athens on the 13th, and the rooms in Athens on the 14th and 15th have already been booked and cannot be cancelled, so we will stay in Athens from the 13th to the 15th. So I want to change the itinerary for the 12th to be from Olympia - small train - Delphi - Temple of Poseidon sunset - Athens airport - Athens downtown accommodation, and tour Athens downtown on the 13th. If you feel that there's nothing to see in Athens in one day, can we drive from Athens to Meteora on the Athens highway for the whole day on the 14th ? Greece Q&A

Could you please tell me about the road conditions in Crete? For example, from Chania to Elafonisi Beach, and from Heraklion to the southern part of the island. I saw on some travel guides that it's difficult to drive, but what exactly is difficult about it? We're two people traveling and have not many luggage, so we rented a small car, such as Fiat 500 or Citroen C1. I can drive manual transmission without any pressure in China. Is this enough to handle the roads in Crete ? Greece Q&A

In summary, the schedule is too tight, I'm not sure how much time I have left to play, but the days are late in Greece, it's not until 8 o'clock at night that it gets dark, and it doesn't matter if you go late to places without tickets, it takes a long time to get to Meteora from there, whether it's from Athens or your itinerary from Meteora to Delphi, your estimated time will definitely be exceeded, considering that you have six people, you must stop in the middle, driving too fast is tiring and unsafe. Mystras needs to be repaired in the castle on the mountain and the monastery below, Monemvasia also has a castle on top of the mountain and a town crossing, they are all not small, they need a lot of time, I think each point a day is very rushed, relatively speaking, Delphi, Olympia and the Theatre are small points (although they are not small), your itinerary on the 14th is really impossible to do, you have to go from Monemvasia to Nafplion to Epidaurus and then go to Cape Colonna and back to the Temple of Poseidon and back to Athens, you basically have no time to shop, just drive. I really suggest you delete some points and enjoy the leisure of Greece～ ? Greece Q&A
