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.

Our guide for the day was Kirsty, who made the trip an outstanding experience. Super well organised, highly knowledgeable about the areas travelled through and visited. She was very informative, making additional viewing spots for nesting storks and spotting turtles, wildlife on the river trip. She prioritised comfort on the coach on a very hot day and safety on the Acheron river walking/swimming with the party and allowing 2 hours for this which was incredible. Highly recommend this adventure!

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!
