About this activity

There are few landscapes that excite the travelers as much as a visit to the enchanting Meteora. The gigantic rocks with the breathtaking volume and height, as they sharply arise in the edge of a big flatland, interrupt the smooth landscape like they were unreal, form part of an impressive geological phenomenon that you can’t miss the chance to observe closely. Moreover, the human intervention in this eerie scenery is astonishing: Monasteries built in the highest point of the rocks, seem to hover between earth and sky, between human and divine element. In 1989, Meteora was added in the list of the World Heritage of UNESCO.

Meteora
5 hr - We reach Meteora at around 12:30p.m; this fascinating complex of huge steep rocks of pennant, arising close to the first elevations of the longest sierra in Greece, Pindos (the “spine” of Greece). We visit two of the six operating Holy Monasteries depending on the schedule of each one. During our visits to the monasteries we make a short stop to admire the stunning panoramic view of the Holy Monasteries from up high and capture the mystique of the landscape. The wild unapproachable area with the sandstones of more than 65 millions years old is majestic and at the same time unearthly and divine as until today their origin cannot be explained. Next, we enjoy our greek traditional lunch break in Kastraki, at Kalampaka area, against the view of the astonishing Meteora. We depart to Thessaloniki at around 15:30p.m and we have a last stop for 20΄ for coffee and rest. We are back at about 19:00p.m, making the same stops where we started from.

Meteora, a MUST see!

Terrific day trip from Thessaloniki. Despite going in the off season with the mist and rain, this was an incredible place to see. If you can make it on a clear day, I would recommend that, though we made the most of it without the dramatic views. The bus driver is very safe and the guide had a lot to offer with the history. I would recommend reading up on the sites ahead of time, as everything is in Greek when you get there, and the guide does not come into the monasteries with you.

Meteora in winter

After a 3 hours busride from Thessaloniki to Meteora with lots of information about the destination, some places we passed on the way and a bit about Greece in general, we reached the first stop. The weather wasn't perfect, but still I enjoyed my trip. As per the description we stopped at three locations. The bus trip back to Thessaloniki took another 3 hours.

As advertised but …

Meteora day tour The tour was as advertised, not less and not more. We were a bilingual group. The monasteries and their geological background were impressive, but the time we spent there was limited - 50 min each for 2 out of 6 monasteries, and a photo stop for 15 min. I think the guide could have provided more information - historical, geological, religion-related. The restaurant, though the food was good, provided only bottled water, 2.5 euro for 1.5-2 liters of water, in a GLASS bottle. You would have thought when you pay for overpriced water you can take what’s left!
