Description

Embark on a full-day adventure from Thessaloniki to Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Greece renowned for its breathtaking rock formations and centuries-old monasteries. Travel by comfortable bus through the scenic Thessalian countryside as your bilingual escort shares fascinating stories and local legends along the way.

Upon arrival in Meteora, you'll discover a landscape where towering sandstone pillars are crowned with monasteries that seem to defy gravity. The tour includes visits to two of the six active monasteries, selected based on the day’s schedule, allowing you to step inside and admire vibrant frescoes, intricate woodwork, and centuries of spiritual tradition.

Explore peaceful courtyards, climb ancient stone staircases, and soak in panoramic views stretching across the valley. Notable monasteries you may visit include Varlaam, Roussanou, or Agios Stefanos, each offering its own unique history and stunning vistas. Entry fees are not included and must be paid in cash at each monastery.

After your monastery visits, enjoy a relaxing lunch break at a traditional taverna in the charming village of Kastraki, where you can savor local Greek dishes while gazing up at the dramatic cliffs. Lunch is at your own expense, giving you the freedom to choose from a variety of regional specialties.

This unforgettable journey lasts approximately 11 hours and includes round-trip transportation, a bilingual escort, and basic travel insurance. Hotel pickup and drop-off are available for private bookings. Secure your spot now and experience one of Greece’s most extraordinary destinations—availability is limited!
