Authentic Hiking Meteora Tour

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.

I joined both hiking and sunset tour. Both were good, but hiking tour was superb and beyond expectation.

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.

The trip from Athen was tiring but worth it. Our tour guide was nice, I recommend it to others as well.
