Resplan
Följ med på denna morgon sightseeingtur till Meteora och upplev detta sanna underverk tillsammans med en kunnig lokal guide. Turen börjar med en bekväm upphämtning (med vår VIP minibuss) från ditt hotell i Kalabaka eller Kastraki. Under denna guidade tur får du möjlighet att se alla sex magnifika kloster och beundra det inre av tre av dem. Dessutom kan du se några av Meteoras mest spektakulära dolda pärlor som det antika kapellet Doupiani och den magnifika St George ”Mandilas”-grottan. Du kommer också att upptäcka den ”andra sidan” av Meteora, som sanningen om varför eremiterna bosatte sig i dessa imponerande grottor för tusen år sedan och hur munkarna uppnådde det ”omöjliga”. Om engelska inte är ditt primära språk, oroa dig inte! Vi erbjuder gratis audioguider på spanska, franska, tyska, italienska, japanska, kinesiska och koreanska. Sist men inte minst, passa på att njuta av den fantastiska panoramautsikten och ta några fantastiska bilder som du kommer att vårda för evigt.
På botten av de heliga Meteora-klipporna och inte långt från Kalambaka ligger Kastraki (översatt som litet slott på grekiska). Denna pittoreska by har fått sitt namn från ett litet bysantinskt slott, vars ruiner är räddade än idag.
Klostret Sankt Nikolaus av Anapafsas är bokstavligen upphängt i luften på en liten sten och är det första klostret som vi möter på vår väg från byn Kastraki till den heliga Meteoras stenskog.
Roussanou-klostret, även känt som Arsani, står på toppen av en imponerande vertikal och brant klippa i Meteora, mellan klostren Saint Nicholas Anapafsas och Varlaam.
The Monastery of Great Meteoron eller Transfiguration of Christ, uttrycker den heliga Meteoras storhet och historia, eftersom det är det äldsta och viktigaste klostret.
Varlaam Monastery eller Monastery of All the Saints ligger på en imponerande klippa precis mittemot den stora Meteoron och det är Meteoras näst största kloster.
The Monastery of the Holy Trinity är det tredje äldsta klostret i Meteora och är det svåraste att nå, eftersom besökare bör korsa en nedförsbacke och sedan gå uppför 145 trappsteg uthuggna i klippan. Det sägs att de första eremiterna använde en repstege och ett nät för att bygga den och de tillbringade 70 år på att bära allt material som behövdes.
Sankt Stefansklostret (Agios Stefanos) ligger strax ovanför staden Kalambaka och är det mest tillgängliga klostret i Meteora, eftersom det inte finns några trappsteg för att nå ingången och det är lätt att ta sig via en liten stenbro.

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. We also appreciate your helpful advice for future travelers, as some monastery visits do involve stairs and uphill walking. Thank you for choosing our tour.
Dress appropriately, wear closed and supportive shoes, enjoy! You will see the interior of 3 monasteries and the other 3 from the exterior.
