Best of Meteroa In A Day! - I loved this day trip. It was easy to book, the instructions were clear on taking the train from Athens to Meteora, and upon arrival we were greeted by our... read more friendly and knowledgable tour guide Elaina. Meteora is otherworldly, and this day-trip meant that I could fit it into my few days in Athens, with time to spare in the late afternoon to explore the nearby town of Kalambaka!

A completely different look at Meteora - First things first: Meteora is absolutely stunning any way you look at it, and you can't really go wrong. But while any bus or car can take you to vantage... read more points to spot the monasteries, there's nothing like a good old-fashioned hike through forest trails across streams, rocks, and trees. There's no instant gratification here, but as you slowly gain altitude, the sheer brilliance of Meteora slowly reveals itself, a far more rewarding experience than simply taking a bus.
A guide can make or break your trek, and Christos was the best hiking buddy we could get. A local from the area, he knows the Meteora trails like the back of his hand, and is very well-versed with the history of the place too. While many people huff and puff up the hills, he strolls across like he's going to the supermarket, with plenty of breath left to narrate histories and perspectives of the Meteora monasteries.
While the buses focus on the monasteries and rocks, the hike gives you the opportunity to see another side of Meteora, the green, lush side.
If you're reasonably fit and want to go to Meteora, do the hike. You won't regret it.
