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.

It was a fabulous trip. Kirsty our guide went above and beyond to make the day memorable- she had a wealth of knowledge of the area and was kind and caring making sure everyone on the coach was comfortable and ok. The trip is quite a long day - 11.5 hours but we enjoyed every minute.

Loved the day. If anything could be improved it would be a little extra time at the monasteries but would not want to forego the visit to the village on the return journey so probably not possible. Our guide, Kirsty, was very, very good.

Fijne begeleiding, prima chauffeur en mooie rit. Bij de kloosters is het prachtig en net voor de ergste drukte terug. Aan te bevelen!

We have wanted to go and visit Meteora for many years. Having a holiday in Parga made it possible. Seeing Meteora was fantastic and definitely did not disappoint. Could easily revisit .

Starting with the positive, Meteora itself is just incredible. Never seen anything quite like it and am pleased to have finally seen it for real. On the downside though, lunch stop was in a 'taverna' in a terrible location with zero character and very average, overpriced food. And Metsovo was quite underwhelming too. Yes the location is beautiful but it's a very busy, traffic-heavy village which makes it difficult to stroll around at leisure. And also, the coach had poor air-con and was too hot!
