Itinéraire
Votre visite privée débutera de votre hôtel à Athènes et se dirigera vers le centre de la Grèce centrale. Notre premier arrêt est le champ de bataille de Thermopyles ou Hotgates et les sources chaudes, où le roi Leonidas et les 300 courageux Spartans ont donné leur vie pour la liberté de la Grèce. Honor et Glory étaient leur devise. Ils ont atteint les deux, car leur mémoire dure à jamais.
En direction de Trikala, Karditsa, Kalambaka et Kastraki, nous atteignons enfin les monastères des Météores. Ils arrivent en deuxième place par leur importance et leur taille après le mont Athos dans le christianisme orthodoxe. Meteora signifie "milieu du ciel", "suspendu dans les airs" ou "dans les cieux au-dessus" et les monastères sont construits sur de hauts piliers à l'extrémité nord-ouest de la plaine de Thessalie, près de la rivière Pineios et des monts Pindus, dans le centre de la Grèce à partir du XIe siècle et ils n'ont jamais été abandonnés, car ils habitent aujourd'hui des moines et des nonnes. Les monastères sont: Saint-Nicolas, Grande Météore, Varlaam, Rousannou, Sainte-Trinité et Saint-Étienne. Vous visiterez jusqu’à 3 monastères, en fonction de la journée, admirerez la magnifique vue panoramique et, lorsque vous aurez faim, préparez-vous à goûter à la célèbre cuisine grecque et à prendre un déjeuner mémorable.Le circuit vous guidera dans une taverne traditionnelle à Kalambaka ou à Kastraki.C'est à vous de choisir parmi une variété de saveurs des plats grecs les plus connus. Après cette expérience religieuse, il est temps de rentrer à Athènes.

Kostandinos was an amazing guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Our crew was 4 adults and 4 children, ages 14, 8, 5, and 1. On the way to Meteora, Kostandinos took us to a local bakery that was incredible. He was friendly and told stories and interesting facts about the countryside throughout the drive. He was great with the small children we had with us. He and the almost two-year-old became friends and he took her to get gelato in one of the towns. On our way home, he and the fourteen-year-old bonded over basketball and he made a special stop at Giannis Court where the fourteen-year-old got to play a pickup game - a must do for his trip. The Meteora rocks and monasteries are an incredible site to behold - unlike any other site. We visited two of the monasteries which were interesting but the drive to them and viewpoints along the way were the most spectacular part of the trip. We also had lunch near Meteora and stopped at the site of the Battle of Thermopylae (the 300 Spartans). It was a 12 hour + day but it went quickly and we had a great time. Highly recommend this tour company, especially with Kostandinos as your guide. We booked directly with them. They were easy to contact and always replied almost instantly.
Thank you very much for your kind words,We hope to see you again in the future!!All the best to you and your family from Enjoy Greece Tours team!
I was in Athens for a business trip and had some open time. I had read the Meteora were a must do so I started researching - I was solo and without a car therefore it was important that the 5 hour one way drive (x2) also be nice. (Note some other tour operators actually discouraged me from this trip because of the driving time but it was on my bucket list so I proceeded anyhow.) Enjoy Greece Tours EXCEEDED expectations! George and Demetrius were my drivers and we had a blast! They were very chatty and I felt so comfortable and relaxed. I learned quite a bit about Greece - the people, the history/sites, the food and more - and had a lot of laughs too. They were polite and very considerate - I felt as if I was travelling with good friends! Once we got to Meteora they had arranged a private guide for me and made sure I was well taken care of. They drove me to many photo op locations and were super accommodating. We had a lovely meal together in addition to stops for treats and coffee. I highly recommend Enjoy Greece Tours - especially George and Demetrius - you will not be disappointed in fact you will absolutely thrilled with your experience! I will be sure to look them up when I go back!
