Il tuo viaggio comincia incontrando la nostra Guida (con in mano un cartello con il tuo nome) e salendo sul nostro autobus privato con aria condizionata. La prima tappa sarà in un ristorante tradizionale locale nell'affascinante città di Kalambaka (esclusiva per questo tour), dove gusterete un delizioso pranzo tradizionale greco (se è selezionata l'opzione del tour).

Sono disponibili anche opzioni vegetariane e vegane.
Poi, preparatevi per un'avventura indimenticabile attraverso questa meraviglia naturale chiamata Meteora. Durante questo tour guidato, potrai vedere tutti i maestosi monasteri di Meteora e persino entrare in tre di essi per esplorare i loro affascinanti interni. Inoltre, scopri i tesori nascosti di Meteora, tra cui le antiche grotte eremitiche, la Cappella di Doupiani e la magnifica grotta di San Giorgio Mandilas. Immergiti nella ricca storia e negli intriganti miti di Meteora, mentre ascolti spiegazioni dettagliate e storie affascinanti direttamente dalla nostra guida locale di lingua inglese.

E, naturalmente, non dimenticare di catturare momenti mozzafiato con la fotocamera per ricordi duraturi. Il tour termina alle 18:00 circa.
Il Monastero di Varlaam o Monastero di Tutti i Santi si trova su un'imponente roccia esattamente di fronte al Grande Meteoron ed è il secondo monastero più grande.
Il Monastero di San Nicola di Anapafsas è letteralmente sospeso in aria su una piccola roccia ed è il primo monastero che incontriamo nel nostro cammino dal villaggio di Kastraki alla foresta di pietra di Santa Meteora.
Il Monastero della Grande Meteora o Trasfigurazione di Cristo, esprime la grandezza e la storia della Santa Meteora, in quanto è il monastero più antico e importante.
Il Monastero di Roussanou, noto anche come Arsani, si trova in cima a un'imponente scogliera verticale e ripida di Meteora, tra i monasteri di San Nicola Anapafsas e Varlaam.
Il Monastero della Santissima Trinità è il terzo monastero più antico di Meteora ed è il più difficile da raggiungere, poiché il visitatore deve attraversare un sentiero in discesa e poi salire 145 gradini scavati nella roccia. Si racconta che all'epoca in cui i monaci usavano una scala di corda e una rete, impiegassero 70 anni per trasportare i materiali e costruire il monastero!
Il Monastero di Santo Stefano si trova appena sopra la città di Kalampaka ed è il monastero più accessibile di Meteora, poiché non ci sono gradini per raggiungere l'ingresso e l'accesso è facile attraverso un piccolo ponte di pietra.

I had never heard of these monasteries before researching must see things to do in the Athens area. This excursion became one of the highlights of our trip. Neither my husband nor I are religious people but the artwork in the churches located in these monasteries filled us with awe. Our guide and driver (Maria and George) were delightful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this day trip.

The transportation to get to Meteora and the three monasteries is good. The guide provided some useful information during the drive to the monasteries, but we did not get a guided tour in the monasteries (and other guides were inside and providing that). The lunch was a rushed, loud, mediocre meal. I recommend going and seeing the monasteries, but make sure you are on a tour where the guide goes into the monasteries with you and explains what you are seeing.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the transportation and found the information provided by our guide useful during the journey. We would like to clarify that our tour description clearly states that a guided tour inside the monasteries is not included in the base price, guests visit the monasteries independently at their own pace. We appreciate your comments regarding lunch and will take them into consideration. Thank you for traveling with us!
Wow! What a breathtaking, spiritual experience! Gorgeous structures and views! Maria did such a fantastic job with the monastery tour! Very friendly and welcoming. Fun personality. Sense of humor. She encouraged all questions and had answers to all of them. Quite knowledgeable! We enjoyed the lunch! Delicious! The young helper on the bus and bus drivers were great too! Very professional. Loved the bus stop at the restaurant. We purchased some yummy desserts! Thank you!!!
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a breathtaking and memorable experience at Meteora.

It’s wonderful to know you also enjoyed the lunch, restaurant stop, and the service from our bus team. We truly appreciate your kind words. Thank you for traveling with us!
The sights and the Monasteries were WELL worth the long drive to Meteora. The reason I am going for three stars is that the process of finding the bus and getting to Meteora was confusing and nobody really explained what was going on or how the day would flow or when we would arrive or anything like that. When we arrived, our actual tour guide was nice and he gave us the information we needed. However, throughout the day he gave no chance to ask questions about the sights and he was not very engaging with the group at all.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the sights and monasteries of Meteora well worth the journey. We apologize for the confusion during the initial bus arrangements and appreciate your comments about the need for clearer communication. We’re also sorry to hear that the guide’s interaction did not fully meet your expectations, and we will take your feedback into consideration to improve the experience. Thank you for traveling with us!
This is a must see! The guide Nick was very knowledgeable and approachable. The stairs and path for St.Nicholas were very steep and uneven. You need to follow a dress code and if not they provide skirts and pants to borrow, etc. The bus got a bit warm but had comfortable seats and plugs for chargers. Bathroom break was half way there and back so every 2 hours. there were opportunities to get drink and food during these quick breaks. Once we arrived we had some time in the town to shop or eat. I was along day but an amazing and beautiful place to visit!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed this amazing destination and that Nick’s knowledge and friendly approach enhanced your experience. We also appreciate your helpful tips regarding the stairs, dress code, and journey. We’re sorry the bus felt a bit warm at times, but we’re glad you found the ride comfortable overall. Thank you for your recommendation and for traveling with us!
It’s a long day if going from Athens but worth it. The town below, the stops along the way and of course the monasteries, amazing.

Everything was great ! The only thing i had issue with was the lunch. It was a buffet and it was not good at all, wished it was specified that it was a buffet . If i had known, i would have just gotten my own lunch for the same price at a better restaurant. George and Maria were great and very informative . George drived safely.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that George and Maria helped make the experience memorable with their professionalism and informative guidance. We’re sorry that the buffet lunch did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your comments. Your feedback is valuable to us. Thank you for choosing our tour.
Nice excursion. Lots of information from Yannis about the area and monasteries
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the excursion and the information shared by Yannis about the area and the monasteries. We truly appreciate your feedback!
Although it was a very long day, the bus was comfortable, the driver and guide were both friendly and knowledgeable, and the lunch was enjoyable. There were sufficient comfort stops allowing you to purchase additional items. The Meteora Monasteries were amazing and the scenery stunning. Adequate time was provided to enjoy each experience however you do need a good level of fitness as there are a lot of stairs!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the comfortable journey, the guidance, the lunch, and of course the stunning beauty of Meteora. We also appreciate you highlighting the physical aspect of the monastery visits, as this is very helpful for future travelers. We’re so glad you had such a memorable experience!
