Experience Meteora's wow-factor landscapes on this tour from Parga. Visit the most important of Meteora's magnificent monasteries on a guided tour of Great Meteoron and then enjoy free time. You'll also have the option to visit a second monastery for which the entrance fee is extra. There will be photo stops at other monasteries before arriving in Kalambaka for lunch. Then, we'll explore the picturesque village of Metsovo before returning to Parga.

Exceptional company, driver and guide providing this excursion Meteora itself is quite breathtaking. Reminded me (on a smaller scale) of the Grand Canyon. Lots of steps to climb and handrails aren’t always very high to act as safety rails but obviously this is just an observation and nothing to do with provision of excursion

The whole experience was extremely pleasurable. Meteora is just breathtaking 😍 From the start of the trip, everyone greeted each other with a good morning. Kirsty the tour guide was exceptional, with the history of the surrounding area's. We also was taught a few greek words. Was worried about being on the coach for that long, but there was plenty of coffee, and toilet stops along the way. The restaurant we stopped at for dinner at the little town underneath Meteora was also a lovely stop off.

Loved the trip to Meteora, it was a long day and found the stop off on the return at Metsovo was not necessary

The lady guide we had was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable about the country , the history, the landscape and she shared it all so that it was interesting to all. The actual meteora was immense!! Just jaw dropping, I would recommend it to anyone. On the downside , we stopped at a restaurant which wasn't advertised on the itinerary, as I have food intolerances , there wasn't anything for me that I felt comfortable with. If I'd known I could have planned for it.

Kirsty was very knowledgeable and was able to provide us with lots of very interesting information about the monasteries. She was very approachable and was always courteous. Kirsty ensured all the guests were well catered for and was very attentive. Jorgas, our driver, was excellent and made us all feel very safe.

Wat een mooie excursie, je moet vroeg uit de veren maar het is echt de moeite waard. De rit er naar toe door het prachtige achterland en Meteora is echt heel bijzonder. Het is wel wat klimwerk, maar mij viel het eigenlijk nog mee. Je hoeft niet ********** te klimmen want de omgeving en uitzichten zijn prachtig. De reisbegeleiding was TOP, Kirsty is echt een aanwinst voor TUI. Lunchgelegenheid in Kalampaka is niet best.. Stop in Metsovo was wel leuk. Een aanrader!
