There are few landscapes that excite the travelers as much as a visit to the enchanting Meteora.

The gigantic rocks with the breathtaking volume and height, as they sharply arise in the edge of a big flatland, interrupt the smooth landscape like they were unreal, form part of an impressive geological phenomenon that you can’t miss the chance to observe closely. Moreover, the human intervention in this eerie scenery is astonishing: Monasteries built in the highest point of the rocks, seem to hover between earth and sky, between human and divine element. In 1989, Meteora was added in the list of the World Heritage of UNESCO.

What To Expect

Meteora

We reach Meteora at around 12:30p.m; this fascinating complex of huge steep rocks of pennant, arising close to the first elevations of the longest sierra in Greece, Pindos (the “spine” of Greece). We visit two of the six operating Holy Monasteries depending on the schedule of each one. During our visits to the monasteries we make a short stop to admire the stunning panoramic view of the Holy Monasteries from up high and capture the mystique of the landscape. The wild unapproachable area with the sandstones of more than 65 millions years old is majestic and at the same time unearthly and divine as until today their origin cannot be explained. Next, we enjoy our greek traditional lunch break in Kastraki, at Kalampaka area, against the view of the astonishing Meteora. We depart to Thessaloniki at around 15:30p.m and we have a last stop for 20΄ for coffee and rest. We are back at about 19:00p.m, making the same stops where we started from.

    It’s great for people who are fond of visiting ancient monasteries. As for me, I came for the view. A lot of walking and climbing stairs so come prepared. Our guide Eva was great and we enjoyed our lunch at Meteoron Panorama Restaurant. Food was really delicious especially their baby lamb specialty and the mushroom soup.

  • Great tour and fantastic...

    We met at the meeting point and there were many other buses and tours gathering. Thankfully a kind staff person saw us and got us connected with our group. The tour bus was very clean and comfortable with AC. Our tour guide, Cici, was great with knowledgeable facts and a soothing voice. She helped us capture a few great moments with the monasteries in the background.

  • Exceptional site, it is to be seen absolutely.

    There is a lot of travel time, practically 8 hours between the outbound and return but it is worth it.

    Meteora is an unforgettable place. Stunning scenery, wonderful architecture and a sense of real spirituality. The tour was efficient. Be aware you'll be climbing lots of steps. I recommend this tour.
