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.

Great trip, informative, punctual and gave us everything we expected! Highly recommend to anyone with limited time - you will see the best of the monasteries.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that the trip was informative, punctual, and delivered everything you expected. We’re especially glad it was a great way to experience the highlights of Meteora when time is limited. Thank you for the recommendation!
This is a great tour. The guide is very informative and provided information during all the time we were on the bus between locations. The monasteries are beautiful. They generally provide enough time to visit them, however we wished we could have had about 10 more minutes at Valaam since it is very beautiful on the outside. This tour is very much worth the money to avoid the stress of parking and get a lot of information about the history and area. Since we were not staying in the main towns we did have to meet them at the old train station, but that was fine as there is plenty of parking there.
Thank you for your detailed review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour, the monasteries, and the historical insights provided along the way. We appreciate your feedback about the time at Varlaam and will keep it in mind. We’re glad the tour made visiting Meteora convenient and stress-free, and that you found it great value for money!
Fabulous experience. Our guide was polite, funny, informative and easy to understand (we are Americans). The trip was just the right length of time. They picked us up on time and even offered to drop us off anywhere on the way back, or at our hotel. I wish I remembered our guide and driver’s names. They were great! Cannot recommend either more highly!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fabulous experience and found the guide friendly, funny, and informative. We’re also glad the timing and transportation worked so well for you. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with our team. Thank you for the recommendation!
The visit is simply extraordinary, the monasteries are magnificent, walking through the weather is something wonderful. On the other hand, the provider Meteora Trip was very disappointing, I had booked a small group, we were 36 people, they were supposed to pick me up at my hotel, and they canceled the day before to give me a meeting point that was the train station. I was really disappointed because I had made arrangements with my hotel to leave my vehicle and my luggage on-site. And the guide was really unpleasant from the start when I asked him why the group was so large when I had paid more to have a small group.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the incredible beauty of Meteora. We’d just like to clarify a few points regarding the arrangements, as we wouldn’t want other guests to be left with the wrong impression. The pickup was not cancelled, the meeting point was changed because the accommodation provided was not a hotel and could not be safely accessed by a bus. Regarding the group size, there were not 36 guests on board. During some extremely hot summer days, we choose to operate with slightly larger buses because they provide better and more efficient air conditioning, while still keeping the group at a comfortable small size. Finally, we do not have different prices for small or large groups. We appreciate your feedback and hope this helps clarify the arrangements.
Excellent communication before and after the tour. Punctual. Informative and friendly guide. We were lucky to be in a small group van. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to explore the monasteries which you did on your own. Beat the crowds! A super tour. Highly recommended especially with a historian guide.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear you appreciated the clear communication, punctuality, and our knowledgeable guide. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the smaller group and had plenty of time to explore the monasteries at your own pace. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation!

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!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the cultural, historical, and natural beauty of Meteora and that our guide and driver helped make your experience enjoyable.

Dress appropriately, wear closed and supportive shoes, enjoy! You will see the interior of 3 monasteries and the other 3 from the exterior.
