Panoramic Morning Meteora and Monasteries Tour

Very well organised tour and on time at the sunset rock!!
Giannis is very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail!

The Meteora Thrones travel company were a great team. Prompt on schedule, with immaculate timing between monasteries.

Guide Yannis was a cool chap, with a good sense of humour,... read more and a decent array of facts about the area.

Approximately 3-4 hours total time.

Would recommend this trip to others.

I'm supposed to use the train to go to Kalambaka,... read more but because trains and railway lines are closed, the company arranged for a big bus to take us from Athens to Kalambaka.

Very nice trip. Excellent tour guide and very polite driver. Luxurious bus. Astonishing view. Highly recommended

I did this tour together with my two children (11 and 14 years old) and my husband. We knew it was going to be a long day with spending 8... read more hours in total on the train, but we were really interested to visit this unique area of Greece. We brought our simit, coffees and water on the train, but there was a bar car as well selling drinks and snacks. The morning train ride is great as you get to see the beautiful landscape of rural Greece. We arrived and got picked up by our tour guide Fotini and our driver Thanos. We had booked a private tour so we got a whole van to ourselves. That way we also had the flexibility to choose which monasteries to visit and do it at our own pace. We loved the tour very much. Fotini was very knowledgable and we learnt heaps. At the end of the afternoon they dropped us off at a fabulous restaurant (Metheora) as we told them that we are foodies and love to eat! After our fantastic meal they picked us up again and dropped us off at the station. The journey back is long and it was dark, so we napped a bit. Although it's a very long day, it was totally worth it. I would thoroughly recommend it. If you have small children or you like to travel and visit the monasteries at a slower pace, I would stay overnight as there is a lot to see. Also, some of the monasteries you have to climb up a lot of steps. For ladies, don't forget to wear a long skirt or dress as otherwise you won't be able to go inside the monasteries.

The tour and guide guy was so nice, stay overnight or 2 in Kastraki village, eat at Gardenia Taverna

Can't miss this if you go to Greece!! - There was no train service, so the agency arranged bus transportation for the trip. It was comfortable, with proper stops to buy food and go to the toilet. We would... read more have preferred no music/radio for a 4 hs trip though. At Kalambaka, we were changed to a mini van. The guide spoke a very good Spanish and gave us information about the town, monasteries and more! He was very kind and funny. Totally recommend to go to Meteora with a guided tour.

Fantastic Trip - Unfortunately due the the serious flooding in the region we were unable to take the train but the tour company arranged for coach pickup opposite the train station. It... read more was quite a long journey but there was a stop halfway for refreshments etc. Once at Kalambaka we were transferred to a smaller coach to visit the Monastaries. Ther views were absolutely spectacular. Depending on the Monastatries visisted can have 100 to 300 steps to climb but you can take your time. It is well worth the journey time to see the wonderful area and to view inside the impressive buildings.

t was a very fantastic trip one of my best in my life
We had few stop to take some nice picture and visited 3 monastry inside
The guide man... read more was very friendly and helpfull

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 🙂

What makes a tour good or bad is the tour guide. Therisa was excellent! She is knowledgeable, friendly, very personable and funny. It definitely was worth the four hour... read more train ride to Kalambaka!

Highly recommended!
