Description

Set off on a full-day trip to Meteora from Athens. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and marvel at the monasteries built on the towering pillar-like rocks. Explore two monasteries and get a glimpse into the life of Greek Christian monks. Be picked up in the morning from one of the designated meeting points in Athens. Board the coach that will take you to Kalabaka in less than 4 hours. Sit back and relax looking out the window and take in the stunning countryside as you travel and snap some photos. Arrive in the traditional town of Kalabaka by noon, perfect time for a traditional free lunch treated by us to fill you up with energy. Enjoy a free seasonal salad & one main course plus free water! ( Vegan and vegetarian options available) The city is built on the foot of the majestic Meteora rocks, then our local guide joins the bus. The Meteora tour starts from here. You will see the 6 monasteries and enter 2 of them (every day there are only 2 or 3 open). The entrance to the Monasteries is not included. Hear the story of how the Meteora rock formations were created millions of years ago and learn about the nature and the history of this extraordinary place from your guide. In the 9th century, monks began inhabiting them again and in the 14th century, the first monasteries were built. Nowadays, Meteora is home to one of the most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries. The tour will also take you to see from a distance the Badouva Caves, where Greek Christian monks used to reside in the past inside the rocks. Of course, you will have many chances to take unforgettable photos at marvelous viewpoints on Meteora. Later the bus will take you back to Kalabaka town so that you enjoy free time for a meal, coffee, and/or shopping before you take the Coach back to Athens. An unforgettable day ends here, we hope you enjoy it. You will enjoy the experience in the most stress-free manner possible. Not only is the bus ride to Kalabaka efficient and faste, but it also allows you to soak up the enchanting countryside of Greece. Awe at the gorgeous landscapes that unfold before your eyes and prepare yourself for the wonders of Meteora to come.
