What To Expect
Meteora
GETTING TO KALAMPAKA: Departing from Athens, the train is by far the most pleasant way to get to Kalambaka. From Athens or Thessaloniki, you can take either a train or a bus up to Meteora. The trains servicing the northern part of Greece leave from the “Larissa station” in Athens, while the buses serving that part of the country leave from Terminal B, at Liossion Street. Also, we can schedule to pick you up from Athens or Thessaloniki with a minibus. (Contact us for more information) In case you arrive in Kalambaka by train, we can pick you up from the train station and start the tour. TOUR HIGHLIGHTS: Visit Saint Antonios, where the first hermits arrived in the area of Meteora Visit 3 monasteries Visit St George the Mandilas Stops in many spots for amazing photos Visit the Byzantine church dedicated virgin Mary which is built 300 years before the first monks arrived in Meteora

Between natural, historical and human beauties....

5.00A magnificent experience that of Meteora. As they didn't have seats on the bus, they made a minibus available to us. Nature and history, an osmosis of beauty, and the cherry on the cake was our guide, a real lady called Joanna, professional (graduated in history and archaeology), with a fluent, rich and well-articulated English, kind and patient with us. 5 hours of sightseeing flew like it was a moment. I would suggest to those who have the possibility not to miss a visit to Meteora, and honestly, I would recommend METEORA - TOUR.
Very nice tour. Decent...

5.00This was the way to see the Monastaries. In a small group you're taken to a few of the sites with time to visit them inside, with a guide who is knowledgable, engaging, simply wonderful.
The best way to see the monasteries!

5.00Even though we arrived in late September, a little bit past peak tourist season, the roads to the monasteries and the parking at the top can be difficult for even the best drivers. So we booked a tour guide and driver to see it without those hassles. Guide Areti and driver Thannis were wonderful and informative, adding several stops along the way that were slightly off the beaten path but totally worth seeing. As the morning turned to afternoon, the tour busses started rolling in, so we were glad to have seen the biggest monastery earlier in the day. When the fog rolled in, it made the driving in more hairy, but Thannis was a pro. Once the official tour wrapped, they took us to the 11th century church in the centre of town (definitely worth a visit) and a viewpoint where we could see all of Kalambaka with the mountains in the distance. All told, this will be a memory of Greece we will likely never forget. Note: proper footwear is strongly recommended and bring cash because some monasteries don’t take cards. While the monasteries insist on proper dress, they have pants and skirts for visitors to borrow.
Meteora - a must see!

5.00Joanna gave us an excellent tour of Meteora. She is extremely knowledgeable, well spoken, and friendly!! We were able to visit 3 of the monasteries but viewed them all. We had time to take many pictures and learned so much. Would highly highly recommend this tour. We were a small group of 4 but the maximum size is only 8, so very personal and intimate. Out of respect, men should wear long pants and women long skirts, but the monasteries provide a skirt should you not have one.

5.00We enjoyed this tour very much. Joanna was very informative and gave us so much history and understanding of the area. Kosta was a superb driver and picked us up at the train station which was easy to find and had plenty of parking for us. We enjoyed many stops to take pictures and revel in the beauty. We visited 3 monasteries and we enjoyed each one. We had a small group of 4 but her maximum is only 8. Very personal and interactive. We can’t recommend Joanna and her tour enough!!

5.00Excellent tour. Very acknowledgeable and friendly tour guides. She also knows all the best spots to get some good pictures. Highly recommend if you want a tour that isn’t super extensive, but shows the essentials of Meteora.
Rich and beautiful moment

5.00Very good time with Ioanna, almost a walk with friends: rich in information about the environment, history, wildlife, monasteries, Thessaly and the rest of the world 😁 really a pleasant time made of 3 long stops to visit the monasteries and many short stops to admire the scenery, and enjoy the best photo spots. Finally, thanks to the rich exchanges, the interior of the armored monasteries of the world was not the most interesting... to our taste. Take a step back and admire what surrounds us in good company is our happiness! Thank you, Ionna, thank you, Costas.
