Enjoy a visit to Meteora from Athens and explore its amazing ancient Monasteries.

During the journey, relax and admire the beautiful Greek landscapes and the scenic beauty of the Greek countryside.

Arriving in Kalabaka around 01:00 pm, your local tour leader will welcome you and begin your panoramic Meteora tour. First, you'll make a short stop for food and relax from the trip under giant trees, overlooking the majestic landscape.

Then continue with a 4-hrs Meteora tour, see all 6 monasteries and visit 3 of them. Learn everything about this unique worldwide geological phenomenon, the creation of the rock formation, the history of the monasteries and the life of the monks. Plenty of photo opportunity stops and many secret places that only locals know will make your tour a lifetime experience. See also the Hermit Caves of Badovas.

The tour will conclude at Kalabaka, with a brief stop to prepare for the return trip to Athens. The bus departs at 06:00 pm from Kalabaka, and you'll arrive in Athens at around 10:30 pm.
