Leave the bustle of Athens behind and set off on a journey to the majestic world of Meteora — where centuries-old monasteries crown towering rock pillars, creating one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Greece! This UNESCO World Heritage Site is both a natural wonder and a spiritual sanctuary, shaped by wind, time, and the faith of monks who sought solitude in the sky! During our tour we will explore two of Meteora’s most iconic monasteries, rich with frescoes, history and panoramic views and will make a stop in a traditional tavern for a delicious lunch, tasting amazing local flavors!
8:00 – 20:00
(Preferred time can be aligned in personal manner)
A driver will pick you up in the morning.
As we walk with our guide along the winding paths of Meteora, the towering monasteries slowly reveal themselves — perched atop massive rock formations like something out of a dream! Built in the 14th century by monks seeking isolation and divine connection, these sacred sites welcome us with breathtaking views, intricate Byzantine frescoes and stories etched into every stone. Originally 24 monasteries were built atop the rock pillars of Meteora, but today only 6 remain active and well-preserved. We will visit 2 of them but be sure – it will be more than a visit! It is a real journey through faith, history and the silence of the skies!
About 5 hours’ drive from Athens (thus, be ready for very early pick up, around 6-7 am)
After exploring the heights of Meteora, we’ll unwind over a hearty lunch at a traditional Greek taverna, nestled at the foot of the cliffs.
