Itinerario
Su conductor lo recogerá de su hotel o apartamento temprano en la mañana. El tiempo de viaje es de aproximadamente 4,5 horas.
Llegamos a Meteora y visitamos tres Monasterios. Impresionantes a primera vista, los Monasterios son de gran importancia cultural y natural. Separadas por terremotos, erosionadas por el viento y el agua durante millones de millones de años, estas inmensas rocas son una auténtica obra maestra de la madre naturaleza. Meteora es una formación rocosa en el centro de Grecia que alberga uno de los complejos de monasterios ortodoxos orientales más grandes y construidos con mayor precipitación. Los seis (de los 24 originales) monasterios están construidos sobre inmensos pilares naturales y rocas redondeadas en forma de colina que dominan el área local. Meteora está incluida en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO y el nombre significa "alto", "elevado" y está relacionado etimológicamente con meteoro. Por favor, vístase con modestia. Se sugiere que las mujeres usen faldas largas y mangas largas. Si no tiene, se le dará una falda en su camino.
Tiempo libre para almorzar en una taberna griega tradicional con tus amigos y familiares o ir de compras a Kastraki, un pintoresco pueblo cerca de Meteora.
De regreso a Atenas haremos una parada en el campo de batalla de las Termópilas para admirar la estatua del rey Leónidas. Leonidas fue un rey de la ciudad-estado griega de Esparta y tuvo una participación notable en la Segunda Guerra Persa, donde lideró a las fuerzas griegas aliadas hasta una última posición en la Batalla de las Termópilas (480 a. C.) mientras intentaba defender el paso de el ejército persa invasor; murió en la batalla y entró en el mito como líder de los 300 espartanos. Si bien los griegos perdieron esta batalla, pudieron expulsar a los invasores persas al año siguiente.
Regresaremos a Atenas a última hora de la tarde. El tiempo de viaje es de aproximadamente 4,5 horas.

We had a wonderful time today on our tour of Meteora and Thermopylae. What an unbelievable place Meteora is with the monasteries perched on the mountain side. Incredible! It was worth the long drive. Our driver, George was fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable and considerate. This made the trip the best it could be. He was one of the best drivers we have had!

We had an incredible experience visiting Meteora with Nikos. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, and Nikos made the entire journey both enjoyable and informative. The trip itself was breathtaking—Meteora is truly one of the most unique and awe-inspiring places I’ve ever seen, with its towering rock formations and stunning monasteries. He went above and beyond to answer questions, offer recommendations, and ensure we experienced the best views and moments throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Greece. If you have the chance to explore Meteora with Nikos, don’t miss it—it’s an unforgettable experience!

We spent the day with our guide George Remoundos, who was so kind, easy to talk to, and extremely knowledgeable about our journey. The drive to Thermopylae and on to Meteora was a pleasure as George not only educated us about various sites along the way, but Greece as well. Meteora is fascinating and one of the most beautiful places we have seen. Definitely a must experience if you are traveling to Greece and we highly recommend George!

Meteora is a magical, beautiful place. ancient monasteries sitting on huge sandstone columns. A mystical place with great byzantine christian art and breathtaking views . It is about 3.5 hours drive from Athens. We did a round trip in 13 hours. Worth staying overnight if you have the time. Also enjoyed the stop t historical Thermopylae, where the 300 Spartans took their last stand. Our driver George was exceptional. Was on time, very nice, knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I should add, I've used Viator a few times over the past few years and haven't regretted. So far, very good experiences. I'd recommend it

Meteora is a really beautiful and interesting place to visit. A private tour I think is the best way to do it because you get to spend more time at each monastery and maximize your time. George our tour guide was professional, specially knowledgeable and very attentive. He explained a lot of the history and interesting facts while driving from place to place, and he took us to a good restaurant with delicious authentic food at a good price. I really recommend this tour and remember to ask for George if you want to have the best experience.

Hello PRITIRANJAN_B, Thank you so much for your time and for leaving this review! Looking forward to seeing you again! LS Tours and Transfers Team
If you ever have the chance to tour Meteora with George, TAKE IT! Yes, it does make for a very long day leaving out of Athens. But the drive is on good roads, George is safe driver and most importantly, he is describing some of the history of the area while driving through it. The absolute star of this tour however, has to be Meteora. One word: STUNNING!
Hello Dale_B, Thank you so much for your time and for leaving this review! Looking forward to seeing you again! LS Tours and Transfers Team
I am still stunned by Meteora. The views were amazing, unlike any other. The monasteries had so much detail it's almost unbelievable that they were built so long ago. Our driver George took good care of us especially since it was such a long drive, he provided lots of history about the lands on the way. I would definitely do it again, you can't get enough of the views looking to and down from the monasteries. Be prepared to hike! Much less to say about Thermopylae but it's in the way so why not...
