Resplan
Meteora är ett område som täcker några kvadratkilometer, där en gammal klostergemenskap och ett sällsynt geologiskt fenomen med stora stenpelare samexisterar i absolut harmoni. Beläget vid den nordvästra spetsen av slätten i Thessalien, har Meteora idag blivit en av de mest populära destinationerna på grekland på fastlandet. Det är en UNESCO världsarvslista, en arkeologisk plats och en officiellt deklarerad helig plats! Vid foten av klipporna finns det 2 bosättningar, staden Kalabaka och byn Kastraki.
Det är en måste-se kyrka, inte bara för sin ålder och värdefulla bysantinska fresker från 1100-talet, men också på grund av byggmaterialet i dess väggar. Reliker av ett gammalt grekiskt tempel tillägnad Gud Apollo har varit inbäddade i väggen. I sitt inre kan man också uppmärksamma det äldre mosaikgolv som avslöjas i specifika fläckar under den nuvarande golvet. Detta är definitivt en av de mest värdefulla tidiga kristna basilikorna runt Grekland och även nu fungerar dagar som en aktiv kyrka för lokalbefolkningen.
Detta är det mest tillgängliga klostret, där i stället för steg du enkelt korsar en liten bro för att nå ingången. Det är idealiskt för besökare som inte kan använda stegen och ändå vill de ha en verklig upplevelse av ett Meteora kloster. Begreppet monastiskt liv på Agios Stephanos klippa går tillbaka till början av 1200-talet. Hosios Antonios, under första hälften av 15-talet, och Hosios Philotheos, som renoverades eller ganska ombyggdes från grunden, nämns den gamla små och eleganta katolikonen, den nuvarande kyrkan Agios Stephanos, år 1545 som grundare.
Stora Meteoron klostret är den största och äldsta av allt. Det kallades klostret som "suspenderades i luften" (meteoro), på grund av bildandet av den gigantiska klippan på vilken den byggdes. Stora Meteoro-klostret grundades av Saint Athanasios Meteorite som var klostrets första grundare och organisatören av den systematiska koenovionen. Av denna anledning anses grunden för detta kloster vara en vändpunkt, eller ännu bättre, början på den organiserade monastisikmen i Heliga Meteora.

Den heliga klostret i Roussanou har fått namnet på den första sannolika eremiten som bosatte sig på berget. Huvudkatedralen grundades i slutet av 1500-talet och dekorerades trettio år senare. Jämfört med andra stenar där kloster byggdes, har Roussanou en lägre höjd, vilket gör den mer tillgänglig. Klostret grundades ursprungligen av munkar och det led allvarliga skador under andra världskriget. Det blev ett kloster 1988.
Varlaams Heliga Kloster är det näst största klostret. Det ligger mittemot Stora Meteoro klostret och grundades i mitten av 14-talet av utövaren Hosios Varlaam. Den eleganta klosterkatolicen byggdes till Agioi Pantes ära år 1541-42, av två bröder från Ioannina, prästmonken Hosioi Theophanes och Nectarios Apsarades. Huvudkyrkan var dekorerad år 1548. Baserat på stilistiska kriterier, tillskrivs denna magnifika väggmålning den berömda hagiografen från Thebes, Frago Catelano.

Unforgettable afternoon, Meteora Sunset Tour. Towering monasteries perched high on ancient rock pillars, fascinating history, hidden viewpoints, and an awesome sunset. A huge thank you to our fantastic guide, Chris, whose knowledge, humour and passion brought Meteora to life. If you're visiting this incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site, I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Truly one of the highlights of our time in Greece! 🌅🇬🇷 P.S. 💯 ask for Chris.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are delighted that the sunset, hidden viewpoints and history of Meteora made the afternoon so unforgettable. Chris will be especially happy to hear your kind words about his knowledge, humour and passion. Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation. We are honoured to have been one of the highlights of your time in Greece!
The booking correspondence with Ioanna was excellent, answering my emails promptly and adjusting the tour to our needs. We were met in Thessaloniki by a very comfortable bus and very pleasant driver Maki’s.The guide Apostolis, who joined us in Meteora was one of the best we have every had. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable with a good sense of humour; he made our experience memorable. Meteora itself was fascinating and memorable, nothing could ever compare to it. We would highly recommend this tour and company without hesitation.
Thank you for your exceptional review and recommendation! We’re delighted that Ioanna’s assistance, Makis’ comfortable transfer, and Apostolis’ knowledge, professionalism, and sense of humour made your experience so memorable. We’ll be very happy to share your kind words with the entire team. It was a pleasure welcoming you to Meteora!
We enjoyed this “small” tour, a bus of approximately 25 people. Great tour guide, friendly. Beautiful views, wonderful stops. Great history and information. It was tough though because it was so hot. We brought our own water but it was quickly depleted and the bus provides just 1 bottle each. There was a stop in town before heading back up to the sunset view. So you can load up again. The other thing is that in order to see the hermit caves you must have proper shoes for walking up and down rocky pathways that include steep inclines. I have a daughter with dyspraxia and this was really hard for her. She had to turn around. Older couples were also struggling and still other members of the group just turned back. And given the heat, it was probably the part of the tour that wore everyone out.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the beautiful views, historical information, stops, and the friendly service provided by our guide. We are sorry that the extreme heat made parts of the tour uncomfortable. One complimentary bottle of water is provided per guest, and the stop in town offers an opportunity to purchase additional drinks, but we understand that more water may be needed during particularly hot days. The walk toward the hermit caves includes uneven, rocky ground and some steep sections, so it may not be suitable for every guest. Participation in this part is optional, and guests can wait safely if they prefer not to continue. We appreciate your comments, as they help us communicate the physical requirements of the tour more clearly.
I pre-booked my sunset tour from Kalambaka via booking dot com but also pooped into the office to check few things and the lady there was so nice and helpful. On the day, they were so busy that a small group was created for the 6 of us with Chris (the best tour guide of all!!!) and we had a great time with him. He's shown us hidden places, he knew the answer to every question we had. And he is a great driver and a awesome person! But all the people I met (and I have met quite a few other guys who work there) were so accommodating and nice! I'd highly recommend this trip and company for anyone (couples / solo travellers) and from anywhere (Kalambaka, Thessaloniki, Athens) and their website is full of useful info about the monasteries and hiking routes (that's how I planned my stay + solo hikes and in 3 days, I visited all the monestaries) if you are planning to book a trip, look no further: choose the best!

This tour was fantastic, we all learned so much about the area from our tour guide, Chris: the history (both old & recent), the mythology, geology, religion, and local greek culture. Chris is incredibly well spoken, extremely knowledgable, keeps his audience interested, and he was lots of fun! We visited a monastery or two on our own, which was wonderful, and at the end he then gave us a personal tour of a special church to understand the meanings of what was inside. The mini-van was very comfortable; had a great driver and lots of special photo opportunities along the way. The staff at Visit Meteora were very helpful and flexible when I needed to change my pick up location at the last minuted. It all went smoothly. Chris provided personal service, asking for questions, engaging us in the talk, and even shared a bit of her personal life as he is from the area. Even gave some restaurant and Greek food recommendations! We all started out as strangers on the tour, but become friends, even if for a day, by the end of our tour. I highly recommend Visit Meteora and especially Chris' tour for a comprehensive understanding of Meteora, and because he makes it fun!
