Rhea was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the area, and was very flexible to adjust the tour to our needs. We were four of us so they gave... read more us a van to ourselves. It was a once in a life experience to visit these monastries in the heavens.
We grabbed breafast at the Larissa station before we headed out, had lunch when we got there and there was time to grab a small snack before heading back. We had booked for first class but did not get it, so we had regular coach tickets. We were a bit anxious when we looked at our seat numbers because they were not sequential. Don't worry because of the crazy numbering in the trains, the seats were actually together.
Rhea took us to three main monastries where we spent close to an hour each but also covered many more of the monastries - stopping by on some great picture spots to take some amaing pics. Time just went by so quickly. You do get some time to rest ast some amazing, quiet and meditative spots in the monastries. Lots of steps so travel light and carry cash. Every monastry charges an entrance fee (3euro/person) and they don't take cards.

We had a private tour of one of the monasteries which was very interesting and then had a time for a great lunch with a wonderful view without any tourists before taking our train back to Athenes the same day.

Taking the trip to Meteora with Meteora Thrones was an excellent choice.
They booked train tickets (nice experience for my 14-year old twins!) and took us on a very interesting... read more tour in Meterora's monasteries. The information provided by our Guide (Mrs Ria) was detailed but interesting and amusing. She provided information not only on the Monasteries but on the geological history and the greated Meteora area as well.
A trip worth taking!

Must do tour of Meteora!! - Absolutely amazing tour of Meteora and the monasteries. Our tour guide’s passion for the area and knowledge of the Orthodox faith came through and made this tour incredibly enjoyable. We... read more learned about the creation of the area from a geological perspective and then from the first monks to the area. Unfortunately forgot the tour guide’s name - he moved to Kalambaka from Canada.
Plenty of stops at locations to take spectacular photos and to visit three monasteries (including museums where monks display important relics).
Be prepared for lots of stairs 🙂
