Meteora Highlights Tour

This 5-hour tour of Meteora is an ideal trip for those arriving via train from either Athens or Thessaloniki and departing on the same day. Meteora’s peaceful solitude is guaranteed to be a welcoming change in comparison to other tourist-centric destinations like Athens and Thessaloniki. Arrive at the Kalambaka train station at 11:30am, where you will meet your local English or Spanish-speaking tour leader holding a signboard with your name. Enjoy a short stop to refresh yourself and indulge in a snack. Next, you will be escorted to a VIP limo mini-bus for a short drive to Meteora. The group size is deliberately kept small so that you can enjoy a relaxing experience and personal attention from the tour leader.

Favored for its awe-inspiring landscape, Meteora is dominated by giant rock formations that extend high into the skies. You have the next 5 hours to freely explore the otherworldly beauty of this place. During this time, you will get to visit all the 6 clifftop monasteries that are actively used by monks to this day. These religious sites have been the residence of hermit monks since the mid-14th century, and thus, are infused with a mystical aura. Also, your ticket includes entry inside 3 of these monasteries, where you can explore their marvelous design and history. At the end of your memorable trip, you will be dropped back at the Kalambaka train station so that you can return to Athens or Thessaloniki.
