Rejseplan
Meteora er et område, der dækker få kvadratkilometer, hvor et gammelt klosterfællesskab og et sjældent geologisk fænomen med store stenstole sideløbende eksisterer i absolut harmoni. Beliggende på nordvestspidsen af sletten i Thessalien, er Meteora i dag blevet et af de mest populære destinationer på fastlandet Grækenland. Det er en UNESCO World Heritage Site, et arkæologisk websted og et officielt erklæret hellig sted! Ved foden af klipperne er der 2 bosættelser, byen Kalabaka og landsbyen Kastraki.
Det er en must-see kirke, ikke kun for sin alder og dyrebare byzantinske fresker fra det 11. århundrede, men også på grund af byggematerialet af dets vægge. Relikvier af et gammelt græsk tempel dedikeret til Gud Apollo er blevet indlejret i muren. I sit indre kan man også være opmærksom på det ældre mosaikgulv, der afsløres i bestemte steder under det nuværende gulv. Dette er helt sikkert en af de mest dyrebare tidlige kristne basilikaer omkring Grækenland, og selv nu fungerer dage som en aktiv kirke for lokalbefolkningen.
Dette er det mest tilgængelige kloster, hvor i stedet for trin man blot krydser en lille bro for at nå indgangen. Det er ideelt for besøgende, der ikke kan bruge trinene, og alligevel ønsker de at have en reel oplevelse af et Meteora kloster. Begyndelsen af klosterlivet på Agios Stephanos klippe går tilbage til begyndelsen af det 12. århundrede. Hosios Antonios, i første halvdel af det 15. århundrede, og Hosios Philotheos, der renoverede eller rettere ombygget fra dens fundament, er den gamle lille og elegante katolske, den nuværende kirke Agios Stephanos, i 1545 nævnt som dens grundlæggere.
Stor Meteoron Kloster er den største og ældste af alle. Det blev kaldt klosteret, der var "suspenderet i luften" (meteoro), på grund af dannelsen af den gigantiske sten, på hvilken den blev bygget. Det store Meteoro-klosteret blev grundlagt af Saint Athanasios Meteorite, som var klostrets første grundlægger og arrangøren af den systematiske koenovion. Af denne grund anses fundamentet for dette kloster som et vendepunkt, eller endnu bedre, begyndelsen af det organiserede monastisikme i Holy Meteora.

Det hellige kloster i Roussanou har fået navnet på den første sandsynlige eremit, der bosatte sig på klippen. Hovedkatedralen blev grundlagt i slutningen af 1600-tallet og blev dekoreret tredive år senere. Sammenlignet med andre klipper, hvor klostre blev bygget, har Roussanou en lavere højde, hvilket gør den mere tilgængelig. Klosteret blev oprindeligt grundlagt af munke, og det led alvorlig skade under anden verdenskrig. Det blev et kloster i 1988.
Det Hellige Kloster Varlaam er det næststørste kloster. Det ligger modsat af Great Meteoro Monastery og blev grundlagt i midten af det 14. århundrede af den udøvende Hosios Varlaam. Det elegante klosterkatholicon blev bygget til ære for Agioi Pantes i 1541-42, af to brødre fra Ioannina, præstmonterne Hosioi Theophanes og Nectarios Apsarades. Hovedkirken blev indrettet i 1548. Baseret på stilistiske kriterier, er dette storslåede vægmaleri henført til den berømte hagiograf fra Thebes, Frago Catelano.

I pre-booked my sunset tour from Kalambaka via booking dot com but also pooped into the office to check few things and the lady there was so nice and helpful. On the day, they were so busy that a small group was created for the 6 of us with Chris (the best tour guide of all!!!) and we had a great time with him. He's shown us hidden places, he knew the answer to every question we had. And he is a great driver and a awesome person! But all the people I met (and I have met quite a few other guys who work there) were so accommodating and nice! I'd highly recommend this trip and company for anyone (couples / solo travellers) and from anywhere (Kalambaka, Thessaloniki, Athens) and their website is full of useful info about the monasteries and hiking routes (that's how I planned my stay + solo hikes and in 3 days, I visited all the monestaries) if you are planning to book a trip, look no further: choose the best!

This tour was fantastic, we all learned so much about the area from our tour guide, Chris: the history (both old & recent), the mythology, geology, religion, and local greek culture. Chris is incredibly well spoken, extremely knowledgable, keeps his audience interested, and he was lots of fun! We visited a monastery or two on our own, which was wonderful, and at the end he then gave us a personal tour of a special church to understand the meanings of what was inside. The mini-van was very comfortable; had a great driver and lots of special photo opportunities along the way. The staff at Visit Meteora were very helpful and flexible when I needed to change my pick up location at the last minuted. It all went smoothly. Chris provided personal service, asking for questions, engaging us in the talk, and even shared a bit of her personal life as he is from the area. Even gave some restaurant and Greek food recommendations! We all started out as strangers on the tour, but become friends, even if for a day, by the end of our tour. I highly recommend Visit Meteora and especially Chris' tour for a comprehensive understanding of Meteora, and because he makes it fun!

Dimitri/Jim was an exceptional guide. He is originally from Kalabaka and his deep love for Meteora and the surrounding region was present in every story he shared. The tour felt much more meaningful because of his passion, knowledge, and personal connection to the place. He made the landscape come alive, not only through historical information, but through local stories, memories, and small details that made the experience feel authentic and special. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Greece, and I left with a much deeper appreciation for Meteora ❤️
