3.002 tips for attendees: #1 dress code must be observed to enter the monastery, #2 monasteries and churches charge an additional entrance fee that is not disclosed ahead time. The tour we participated in allowed for entry into 1 monastery, however we personally witnessed larger tour groups pushing to the front of the line to enter the monastery ahead of our group that did not have a guide pushing ahead of everyone else. It was quite frustrating to see other guides advocating for their group when ours did not. We were not able to see the interior of the 1 monastery that was identified for our tour because of the excessive vistorship of a single monastery. The government, Orthodox church and tour operators appear to act without limits to the number of visitors which negatively impacts visitors. If we go again, we would go independently early in the day and avoid the tour group rush.
A nice way to spend an afternoon in Meteora

5.00Note that you only go inside one monastery, a small one at that (St Nicholas). And we weren’t told about the bus WiFi so it was only when reviewing the reservation just now that I saw that. But the views were great, and the church pretty (no pics allowed inside though). If you don’t want to do too much walking you see a lot for a little effort.

5.00It is quite a long trip (nearly 4.5 hrs from pick yp and drop off, with a fair amount of twisting roads in nice minicoach. But this guide and driver (Vassilika was the guide) were both excellent both in term's of knowledge and english. The Aunset Trip we did included a stop for about 40 minutes at Ag Stefanos Monastary which is inhabited by Nuns not Monks and has the easiest foot access. It was lively, and as with Churches, interior photos or videos cannot be taken. The grounds and views are lovely, as were the interiors our trip also included the Byzantine Church of the Holy Virgin-very interesting history and secret garden residents! We also made a stop at The Hermit Caves, sadly roo steep for me and my husband to walk up to, so 3 of us stayed at the bottom. The group were up there about an hour. We made a number of stops along the way for photo stops, ending at ‘Sunset rock’ to clamber onto the rocks (be careful) but aadly the sunset was too shy and hidden behind heavy clouds today! But the view was still awe inspiring. The tour operator ‘Meteora Thrones’ also offer tours in other languages, morning tours and trekking trips. They all offer different monastery visits.
Great tour

5.00There was some duplication from the morning tour but all in all , it was a good day. We covered substantial ground. Tip - If you plan to visit all monasteries, you can do a combination of this two tours and then on your own. In December, it should cost about $20 to visit these monateries.
