Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi starter vores tur tidligt om morgenen fra Athen til Meteora. Vores chauffør henter dig fra dit hotel/lejlighed eller lufthavnen/havnen. Rejsetiden er omkring 4,5 timer.
Kalabaka er en by og sæde for kommunen Meteora i Trikala regionale enhed, en del af Thessalien i Grækenland. Befolkningen var 12.000 ved folketællingen i 2011, heraf 8.330 i selve byen. Meteora-klostrene ligger i nærheden af byen.
Vi ankommer til Meteora og besøger op til tre klostre. Klostrene er betagende på det første sted og er af stor kulturel og naturlig betydning. Splittet fra jordskælv, forvitret fra vinden og vandet gennem millioner af millioner af år, er disse enorme klipper et autentisk mesterværk af moder natur. Meteora er en klippeformation i det centrale Grækenland, der huser et af de største og mest stejlt bygget komplekser af østlige ortodokse klostre. De seks (af originale 24) klostre er bygget på enorme naturlige søjler og bakkelignende afrundede kampesten, der dominerer lokalområdet. Meteora er optaget på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste og navnet betyder "højt", "forhøjet", og er etymologisk relateret til meteor. Vær venligst beskedent klædt. Kvinder anbefales at bære lange nederdele og lange ærmer. Har du ikke, får du udleveret en nederdel på vej ind.
Fritid til frokost på en traditionel græsk taverna med dine venner og familie eller shoppe i Kastraki, en malerisk landsby nær Meteora.
Thermopylae er et sted i Grækenland, hvor der eksisterede en smal kystpassage i antikken. Den får sit navn fra sine varme svovlkilder. I græsk mytologi er de varme porte en af indgangene til Hades. Thermopylae er stedet for en kamp mellem de græske styrker og de invaderende persiske styrker, mindes af Simonides af Ceos i det berømte epitafium, "Gå og fortæl spartanerne, fremmed forbipasserende, at her, lydige mod deres love, ligger vi." Thermopylae er den eneste landrute, der er stor nok til at bære nogen betydelig trafik mellem Lokris og Thessalien. At gå fra nord til syd langs Balkanhalvøens østkyst kræver brug af passet, og derfor har Thermopylae været stedet for adskillige kampe.
Når vi forlader den storslåede Meteora bag os, lad os ikke overse slaget ved Thermopylae i 480 fvt., som længe har været emnet for kulturel motivation, da det måske er den mest berømte militære sidste stand nogensinde. Monumentet af den store Leonidas, konge af Sparta, i Thermopylae, vil pryde vores vej på vores vej tilbage til Athen sidst på eftermiddagen. Thermopylae er verdensberømt for slaget, der fandt sted der mellem de græske styrker (især spartanerne, sødæmonerne, thebanerne og thespianerne) og de invaderende persiske styrker, der mindes af Simonides i det berømte epitafium, "Gå fortæl spartanerne, fremmed der går forbi , At her, lydige mod deres love, lyver vi."
Leonidas var en konge af den græske bystat Sparta og den 17. af Agiad-linjen, et dynasti, der hævdede at stamme fra den mytologiske halvgud Herakles og Cadmus. Leonidas var søn af kong Anaxandridas II. Han efterfulgte sin halvbror kong Cleomenes I på tronen i ca. 489 f.Kr. Leonidas havde en bemærkelsesværdig deltagelse i den anden persiske krig, hvor han førte de allierede græske styrker til et sidste standpunkt i slaget ved Thermopylæ (480 f.Kr.), mens han forsøgte at forsvare passet fra den invaderende persiske hær; han døde i slaget og gik ind i myten som leder af de 300 spartanere. Mens grækerne tabte dette slag, var de i stand til at fordrive de persiske angribere i det følgende år.
Vi starter vores vej tilbage til Athen sidst på eftermiddagen. Køreturen er cirka 4,5 timer.

Thank you very much for a fantastic tour today. We had a great time and really appreciate Alex kindness and professionalism. It was a pleasure meeting you. All the best!
Nick was a lovely driver/tour guide and we had a great time!!
Best tour of our entire Greece trip! The private driver “Mike” was wonderful, full of knowledge, fun and great with our young two boys on the trip. Navigating through crazy Athens traffic like a pro and out to the monastery’s on the scenic highway I felt we were in great hands with a real professional, I’ve been on some trips in other counties where I would be on the edge of my seat worried the time about going so far and back, Mike made this trip from start to finish so relaxing and at the end I felt like we were all family. Would highly recommend if making a full day of going to see the monasteries on the tops of mountains you request Mike as your guide and chauffeur!!!

This is the best way to experience Meteora and is well worth the extra cost of a private tour. Our guide Mike was fantastic! He was very professional, accommodating and incredibly knowledgeable on the historical and current aspects of the trip. Mike provided us with great tips and suggestions for visiting each monastery that saved us time and allowed us to enjoy our experience to the fullest. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in visiting Meteora and if Mike is your guide, it will be an even better experience.

We really enjoyed spending the day with our wonderful driver, Alex. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Alex was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable on Greek history and had an impressive collection of music to entertain us on the drive. We also stopped at the Battle of thermopylae Museum and Memorial on the way to Meteora. Pictures don’t do justice to the sights of the monasteries. We were so impressed by Alex that we scheduled a tour to the Temple of Poseidon with him for the next day. I highly recommend My Athens Transfers.

Be prepared for lots and lots of stairs. Did I mention stairs? Oh yes, there are stairs but the views are almost magical.

Scenic beautiful drive to Meteora in a comfortable vehicle with George. There were 4 of us but we paid just a little more to get a Large Van since we knew we’d be on the road for 4 hours each way. George picked us up at 6:30am and we arrived to Meteora about 4 hours later with a bathroom and coffee/breakfast pickup in between. George recommended 2 monasteries and gave us an opportunity to visit another one or add more panoramic stops; we chose the panoramic stops as it’s absolutely beautiful there. There were many large buses at the Monasteries and we were glad that we had George and our private vehicle as we could pick how long we wanted at each stop vs a set schedule. Lunch was a good selection and reasonably priced. Overall tour was about 12 hours and worth it.
