Itinerario
Únase a este tour turístico por la mañana a Meteora y experimente completamente esta verdadera maravilla acompañado por un guía local experto. El tour comienza con una conveniente recogida (con nuestro minibús VIP) desde su hotel en Kalabaka o Kastraki. Durante esta visita guiada tendrás la oportunidad de ver los seis magníficos monasterios y admirar el interior de tres de ellos. Además, vea algunas de las joyas ocultas más espectaculares de Meteora, como la antigua Capilla de Doupiani y la magnífica cueva de San Jorge "Mandilas". También descubrirás el “otro lado” de Meteora, como la verdad sobre por qué los ermitaños se establecieron en estas imponentes cuevas hace mil años y cómo los monjes lograron lo “imposible”. Si el inglés no es tu idioma principal, ¡no te preocupes! Ofrecemos audioguías gratuitas en español, francés, alemán, italiano, japonés, chino y coreano. Por último, pero no menos importante, aprovecha para disfrutar de las impresionantes vistas panorámicas y capturar algunas fotos increíbles que apreciarás para siempre.
En el fondo de las Rocas Sagradas de Meteora y no muy lejos de Kalambaka se encuentra Kastraki (traducido como pequeño castillo en griego). Este pintoresco pueblo tomó su nombre de un pequeño castillo bizantino, cuyas ruinas aún se conservan en la actualidad.
El Monasterio de San Nicolás de Anapafsas está literalmente suspendido en el aire sobre una pequeña roca y es el primer monasterio que encontramos en nuestro camino desde el pueblo de Kastraki hasta el bosque de piedra de la Sagrada Meteora.
El Monasterio de Roussanou, también conocido como Arsani, se alza sobre un impresionante acantilado vertical y escarpado de Meteora, entre los Monasterios de San Nicolás Anapafsas y Varlaam.
El Monasterio del Gran Meteorón o Transfiguración de Cristo, expresa la grandeza y la historia de la Santa Meteora, por ser el monasterio más antiguo e importante.
El Monasterio de Varlaam o Monasterio de Todos los Santos está ubicado sobre una imponente roca exactamente enfrente del Gran Meteorón y es el segundo monasterio más grande de Meteora.
El Monasterio de la Santísima Trinidad es el tercer monasterio más antiguo de Meteora y es el más difícil de alcanzar, ya que los visitantes deben cruzar un camino cuesta abajo y luego subir 145 escalones excavados en la roca. Se dice que los primeros ermitaños utilizaron una escalera de cuerda y una red para construirla y tardaron 70 años en transportar todo el material necesario.
El Monasterio de San Esteban (Agios Stefanos) se encuentra justo encima de la ciudad de Kalambaka y es el monasterio más accesible de Meteora, ya que no hay escalones para llegar a la entrada y el acceso es fácil a través de un pequeño puente de piedra.

Nikos was an awesome tour guide and Giorgos made us feel very safe with his driving skills . It has been a wonderful experience .
Meteora is a fabulous place to visit, with tremendous cultural and geographical wonders. On our tour, we visited 3 monasteries. Our guide and driver were very helpful. A word of caution for travelers with physical challenges such as bad knees or hips--you have to climbs a LOT of stairs and walk some distance up hills to visit some of the monasteries. Plan your visit accordingly!

A trip not to be missed. We got rid of the parking problem and received a lot of information about the impressive history of the area. The professionalism and kindness of the guide Vasilis and the driver Yorgos were remarkable. I recommend.

I signed up for this trip that promised a small group tour of the monasteries in a private luxury van. Instead the company showed up with an 80 person mega bus with no prior warning. I would not have signed up for such a tour. Having so many people ruined the experience and there was no opportunity to ask questions with the tour guide—he was just too busy herding us all on and off the bus. Additionally we sat around forever waiting for everyone to be accounted for. I contacted the tour operator 2 times to request a refund and they will not respond.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the change of vehicle affected your experience. However, we would like to clarify that the description of an “80-person mega bus” is not accurate. In fact, no operator in the region owns vehicles of that size. On the day of your tour, we experienced an unexpected last-minute issue with one of our minibuses. Rather than cancel the excursion, we arranged a slightly larger replacement vehicle so that all guests could still enjoy the experience. This situation was explained to everyone upon boarding, and the tour proceeded as planned with the complete advertised itinerary. We are also sorry if you felt unable to engage with the guide. Our guides are always happy to answer questions throughout the tour, and with approximately four hours spent in Meteora, there are multiple opportunities for interaction during visits, stops, and transfers. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations. Thank you for joining our tour.
