Rejseplan
Tag på en ekstraordinær dagstur fra Thessaloniki til UNESCOs verdensarvssted Meteora. Udforsk århundreder gamle klostre, nyd en betagende panoramaudsigt og afslør skjulte perler af Meteora, som de fleste rejsende ikke kender til. Din rejse starter, når du går ombord på bussen, der afgår fra Thessaloniki til Trikala kl. 09:30. Læn dig tilbage og nyd en naturskøn bustur gennem det fortryllende landskab, der tilbyder maleriske glimt af det græske fastland. 12:20 når bussen busstationen i Trikala, hvor du skal skifte bus og nå den, der afgår til Kalambaka (Meteora) kl. 12:30.
13:30 ankommer du til Meteora, hvor vores venlige lokale rejseleder venter på dig for at begynde et uforglemmeligt eventyr gennem dette naturlige vidunder kaldet Meteora. Under denne guidede tur vil du være i stand til at se alle de majestætiske klostre i Meteora og endda træde ind i tre af dem for at udforske deres fængslende interiør. Du vil også opdage Meteoras skjulte skatte, inklusive de gamle eremithuler og den storslåede St. George Mandilas-grotte. Fordyb dig i Meteoras rige historie og spændende myter, mens du hører detaljerede forklaringer og fascinerende historier. Hvis engelsk ikke er dit primære sprog, så fortvivl ikke! Vi tilbyder også gratis lydguider på spansk, fransk og italiensk. Under hele rejsen kan du også drage fordel af vores flere panoramastop for at fange fantastiske øjeblikke med dit kamera, hvilket skaber varige minder om denne betagende tur.
Klosteret Store Meteoron eller Kristi forvandling, udtrykker den hellige Meteoras storhed og historie, da det er det ældste og vigtigste kloster.
Den Hellige Treenigheds Kloster er det tredjeældste kloster i Meteora og er det sværeste at nå, da den besøgende skal krydse en sti ned ad bakke og derefter bestige 145 trin hugget ind i klippen. Det siges, at på det tidspunkt, hvor munkene brugte en rebstige og et net, brugte de 70 år på at bære materialerne og bygge klostret!
Klosteret Saint Stephen's ligger lige over byen Kalampaka og er det mest tilgængelige kloster i Meteora, da der ikke er nogen trin for at nå indgangen, og adgangen er let gennem en lille stenbro.
Varlaam Monastery eller Monastery of All the Saints ligger på en imponerende klippe lige over for Den Store Meteoron, og det er det næststørste kloster.
Klosteret Sankt Nikolaus af Anapafsas er bogstaveligt talt ophængt i luften på en lille klippe og er det første kloster, vi møder på vej fra landsbyen Kastraki til den hellige Meteoras stenskov.
Roussanou-klostret, også kendt som Arsani, står på toppen af en imponerende lodret og stejl klippe af Meteora, mellem klostrene Saint Nicholas Anapafsas og Varlaam.
Efter turen kan du nyde cirka en times fritid i den charmerende by Kalambaka for at udforske dens mange restauranter, caféer og lokale butikker. Slap af under de betagende Meteora-formationer eller tag en kort gåtur til hjertet af denne lille maleriske by. 19:15, fange bussen, der afgår fra Kalambaka til Trikala. 19:50 når bussen busstationen i Trikala, hvor du skal skifte bus og nå den, der afgår til Thessaloniki kl. 20:00. Ankomst til Thessaloniki kl. 22.30.

I did this trip from Thessaloniki which meant a four hour bus ride each way (including one change of buses) to the meeting point where the big touring bus picked me up with the other tourists from Athens and elsewhere. The instructions I received via email where very detailed and helpful; the only glitch was the return trip when, due to slowed traffic, I almost missed the connection to the second bus that was just leaving the station at 8pm, with no more buses scheduled that night. But I got the driver to open the door for me. The tour itself is really excellent, and so I am very glad I booked it, even though it meant a very long day. Maria, our guide was the best! She is knowledgeable, attentive, approachable, fun—everything you want in a good guide. There are several monasteries perched in the mountains, and you get to go inside three of them—which three you get to see depends on which day of the week you are visiting. You see the others from vantage points. Such a magical and amazing place! Really worth seeing if you have the time. I’m very glad I did it!
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that, despite the long journey, the tour was well worth it and that Maria made such a positive impression with her knowledge, attentiveness, and friendly approach. We appreciate your understanding regarding the bus connection, and we’re glad everything worked out in the end. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed exploring the monasteries and the stunning views of Meteora. Your feedback means a lot, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience!
This is definitely a tour worth doing. Amman Express, the local agents are to be congratulated for their organisation. Eleni the guide was excellent at her job and Dimitri's a very safe driver. The tour is a long one but Medeora is magical and we visited 2 monasteries and saw magnificent landscapes
The welcome at the station was very professional and our tour guide and driver exceptional. The busses are very clean and neat. They stopped at a taverna prior to the tour for refreshments and a quick bite. The tour was very informative, our female guide (sorry, cannot recall her name) was friendly, concerned for every passenger and highly professional. Would recommend her any time. Would I do this tour again from Thessaloniki by train? Big yes! I would recommend this to all my relatives and friends. Thank you from the 2 Samos Greeks (Billy & Freddie) and 2 South Africans (Eugene & Andre)
I loved the experience in Meteora; the place was excellent, and the guides were very kind and polite.
Thank you so much for the excellent review and thank you for your kind words. We are so happy to know that you enjoyed the tour with us and we hope to see you again.
Comfortable and interesting tour but it could be longer. We would have had time for visit to a 4th monastery. We were back at the train station 1h.15 before the train departure. The travel from Athens or Thessaloniki is so long that you want to enjoy more of it.
Dear Marianne. We are really glad that you enjoyed the tour and you found it comfortable and interesting. Regarding it's duration, we totally understand that by having such a good time with us you would want it to be a little longer. We designed this experience in a way that one day travellers will be able to both see Meteora's highlights and also have some time to relax, eat lunch or drink a cup of coffee before their train trip back to Athens or Thessaloniki. We would be so happy to join us again some time in the future in one of our 2 or 3-day Meteora experiences where we will explore every single spot of Meteora! Thank you so much and you have our best wishes.
