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.

Highlight of our trip

5.00This was the highlight of our 3 weeks in Greece. I have been multiple times to Greece and always wanted to see Meteora. It is off the beaten path of Greece so was always hard to plan. This tour was fantastic. Lina was so knowledgeable about the monasteries and the history. We went to multiple photo stops, St Stephenson’s monastery, went to see the hermit caves, and the last stop was the sunset rock to watch the sunset. Great night. The tour is a little longer than 4 hours.
Cool but didn’t clearly state how long the sunset tour would take

3.00It helped us get oriented to the world of Meteora and gave us good information. It certainly made it convenient to see the sites. The guide was excellent. But it was way too long —- I understand that a “sunset tour” on June 17 will be late —- and I understand that the monastery closed at 5:00, so there’s not really any way around it. The stop at the Byzantine church in town was much much too long. I guess the ad should have been clearer about how long the tour actually was. We didn’t get back until 9:30. By then I didn’t care about Meteora at all anymore.
What wonderful tour! Our...
