Meteora - In the afternoon, we will pick you up from your hotel for the “Amazing Meteora Sunset” tour. During this guided tour, you will have the chance to see all six magnificent monasteries and explore the interior of one. You’ll discover some of Meteora’s most spectacular “hidden gems” like the ancient hermitages of Bandovas, the Byzantine church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary, and the charming old district of Kalabaka.
You will also learn about the “other side” of Meteora, including why the hermits settled in these imposing caves a thousand years ago and how the monks accomplished the “impossible”.
Finally, you will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views, capture stunning photos, and witness one of the most awe-inspiring sunsets you will ever see.
At the end of the tour, we will transfer you back to your hotel where you can relax or take a walk to explore the town of Kalabaka on your own.
Day 2
Kalambaka - The next morning, you can join a 4-hour tour of your choice. Opt for the “Meteora: Morning Half Day Sightseeing and Monasteries Tour” to further explore the monasteries or the “Meteora: Hiking Tour on Hidden Trails” to discover the hidden walking paths of Meteora.
Agios Stefanos - The Monastery of Saint Stephen’s is located just above the city of Kalampaka and is the most accessible monastery in Meteora, as there are no steps to reach the entrance and access is easy via a small stone bridge.
Great Meteoron Monastery - The Monastery of Great Meteoron, also known as the Transfiguration of Christ, represents the grandeur and history of the Holy Meteora, being the oldest and most significant monastery.
Roussanou Monastery - The Roussanou Monastery, also called Arsani, is perched on an impressive vertical and steep cliff of Meteora, situated between the Monasteries of Saint Nicholas Anapafsas and Varlaam.
Varlaam Monastery - The Varlaam Monastery, or Monastery of All the Saints, is located on a commanding rock directly opposite the Great Meteoron and is the second largest monastery.
