What To Expect
Meteora
Meteora is an area that covers few square kilometers, where an ancient monastic community and a rare geological phenomenon of huge rock pillars coexist in absolute harmony. Located at the northwest tip of the plain of Thessaly, Meteora today has become one of the most popular destinations of mainland Greece. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an archeological site and an officially declared holy place! At the foothills of the rocks, there are 2 settlements, the town of Kalabaka and the village of Kastraki.
Byzantine Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary
It is a must-see church, not only for its age and precious 11th century Byzantine frescoes, but also because of the construction material of its walls. Relics of an ancient Greek temple dedicated to God Apollo have been embedded in the wall. In its interior one can also pay attention to the older mosaic floor that is revealed in specific spots beneath the current floor. This is definitely one of the most precious early Christian basilicas around Greece and even now days serves as an active church for the locals.

The sunset ended up being out of this world!

5.00This tour has a little bit of everything: monastery, hermit caves, neighborhood/historical church and photo opportunities. . It started to rain towards the end. I thought that we wouldn’t see a great sunset, but the clouds parted just enough to creat a sunset that was out of this world. We were very happy and would definitely recommend to others
A great way to see and learn about Meteora!

5.00The sunset tour was superb! Our guide, Lina, and driver, Sotos, were very friendly and knowledgeable. We toured and learned a lot about the hermit caves, forest and monasteries of Meteora throughout the Byzantine and Ottoman eras and into the WWII bombings and post war rebuilding. Lina's stories helped us imagine the lives of the monks in the caves and monasteries, as well as the nuns and the nunneries. We would not have gotten this full picture if we had just gone to the monastaries on our own. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience and tour! Just do it!

1.00I review while the tour is underway. No audio guide present, neither on the bus nor in the monasteries. Yet it is given as included in the price of 110 x 4 people. In addition Despite being included also jl price of the monasteries we are paying on the spot at every stop. Booking information is false
