Heldagsresa till Meteora från Thessaloniki
Beskrivning
Det finns få landskap som exciterar resenärer så mycket som ett besök i den förtrollande Meteora. De gigantiska stenarna med den häpnadsväckande volymen och höjden, som de uppenbarligen uppstår i kanten av en stor platta, avbryter det släta landskapet som om de var overkliga, ingår i ett imponerande geologiskt fenomen som du inte kan missa chansen att observera noggrant. Dessutom är det mänskliga ingreppet i det här häftiga landskapet förvånande: Kloster som byggdes på klippans högsta punkt verkar sväva mellan jorden och himlen mellan mänskliga och gudomliga element. 1989 lade Meteora till förteckningen över UNESCOs världsarv.

Resplan
Vi når Meteora runt 12:30; detta fascinerande komplex av enorma branta stenar av vimpel, som reser sig nära de första höjderna av den längsta bergskedjan i Grekland, Pindos ("ryggraden" i Grekland). Vi besöker två av de sex verksamma heliga klostren beroende på schemat för var och en. Under våra besök i klostren gör vi ett kort stopp för att beundra den fantastiska panoramautsikten över de heliga klostren uppifrån och fånga mystiken i landskapet. Det vilda otillgängliga området med mer än 65 miljoner år gamla sandstenar är majestätiskt och samtidigt ojordiskt och gudomligt eftersom deras ursprung fram till idag inte kan förklaras. Därefter njuter vi av vår traditionella grekiska lunchrast i Kastraki, vid Kalampaka-området, mot utsikten över den häpnadsväckande Meteora. Vi åker till Thessaloniki runt 15:30 och vi har ett sista stopp för 20΄ för kaffe och vila. Vi är tillbaka cirka 19:00 och gör samma stopp där vi startade.

Fabulous experience! I am not a fan of heights, and I was concerned about how much of my trepidation would come into play visiting the monasteries. I had zero need to worry. The access is much easier than I would have ever thought! Our guide and driver were both fabulous. Eleni was so informative and always available to help. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic Meteora tour! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide, EvaM10, was professional, very kind, friendly, and very informative. Everything was clearly explained, the lunch stop was great, and Meteora was absolutely breathtaking. An unforgettable experience—highly recommended!
Excellent experience! Everything exactly as expected and was clearly explained on the website. There was enough time to visit each monastery, to look around, and to take pictures of the extraordinary landscape. We stopped at a restaurant stop on the way there - and on the way back - with bathrooms, bakery, coffee and souvenirs. Prices and quality was good. Lunch spot was also very good. Prices a bit higher as expected in a touristic pla e, but quality was high and staff was friendly and efficient. Overall an excellent experience if you only have 1 day to visit meteora. The guide was friendly and informative. Always very clear in pickup times and about what to expect. And some extra tips.
We did the Meteora day trip, and à Thessaloniki Food walking tour with Ammon Express. Both tours were well-organised, expertly guided, and great value for money. Cee-Cee was the Meteora guide, she was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and on top of every detail. The coach was comfortable, and the itinerary was perfect. The guide for our Food Walking Tour, I think it was Adrianna, was also very good. She was knowledgeable and friendly, and the tour was very enjoyable. We would have no hesitation in recommending these Ammon Express tours if you’re visiting Thessaloniki.
A very well organised and run day trip to Meteora, with a lovely and informative guide (Eleni). We had a great day and highly recommend.
We wanted to go to Meteora for a while. Booked this trip in plenty of time to avoid any disappointment. We were met on time by Eleni and travelled in a comfortable air conditioned coach. Stop off half way for a comfort break and refreshments. Whilst travelling Eleni pointed out things of interest. Arriving at Meteora it was more breathtaking than the pictures could possibly capture. We had plenty of time and opportunity to take photos. We went for lunch in a fantastic panoramic restaurant where the food was slightly more expensive than Thessaloniki but was of a good quality. Stop off half way again on the way back into Thessaloniki for a comfort break. It was a long day but well worth it and I would recommend this trip as a must if you’re coming to Thessaloniki.
This tour was absolutely amazing and had everything you could want – stunning monasteries, breathtaking views, and a really well-planned itinerary. Cici was a fantastic guide, sharing lots of interesting information in a friendly and engaging way. Although the tour lasts over 10 hours, the time flew by because there was always something incredible to see. I'd definitely recommend it!
Incredible views and a comfortable bus! The mountains and rock formations were unlike anything I have ever seen!
A long day, but absolutely worth it to experience the incredible monasteries of Meteora. We visited two monasteries and stopped at a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the others — a highlight of the day. There was one restroom break on the way to Meteora and another on the return, and the monasteries themselves also have facilities, which made the journey comfortable. The time allocated at each monastery felt adequate, and we never felt rushed while exploring. Our guide was informative and approachable, adding helpful context throughout the day without overwhelming the experience. Lunch was arranged at a specific restaurant that isn’t near any alternatives, so there are no other dining options. The food was decent, fairly priced, and served quickly — we were able to finish within about an hour. Overall, it’s a long day, but the sights of Meteora are spectacular and absolutely worth the trip. Highly recommend.
The tour itself was okay overall, but it was ruined at the end. Instead of stopping for lunch in the city, as stated in the tour description, we stopped in the middle of nowhere with only two restaurants to choose from, and the guide was clearly steering people toward one of them. As our break was coming to an end, it started pouring rain. Although the driver was inside the bus, he wouldn’t let us in and told us to wait outside by the road. To make matters worse, the guide herself came back late.
