Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Meteora, Kastraki, Kalambaka, Trikala Region, Thessaly
Meteora is an area that covers few square kilometers, where an ancient monastic community and a rare geological phenomenon of huge rock pillars coexist in absolute harmony. Located at the northwest tip of the plain of Thessaly, Meteora today has become one of the most popular destinations of mainland Greece. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an archeological site and an officially declared holy place! At the foothills of the rocks, there are 2 settlements, the town of Kalabaka and the village of Kastraki.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Byzantine Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary, Kalambaka, Trikala Region, Thessaly
It is a must-see church, not only for its age and precious 11th century Byzantine frescoes, but also because of the construction material of its walls. Relics of an ancient Greek temple dedicated to God Apollo have been embedded in the wall. In its interior one can also pay attention to the older mosaic floor that is revealed in specific spots beneath the current floor. This is definitely one of the most precious early Christian basilicas around Greece and even now days serves as an active church for the locals.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Agios Stefanos, Kalambaka, Trikala Region, Thessaly
This is the most accessible monastery, where instead of steps you simply cross a small bridge to reach the entrance. It is ideal for visitors who cannot use the steps and yet they wish to have a real experience of a Meteora monastery.
The beginning of monastic life on the rock of Agios Stephanos dates back to early in the 12th century. Hosios Antonios, in the first half of the 15th century, and Hosios Philotheos, who renovated or rather rebuilt from its foundations the old small and elegant Catholicon, the present church of Agios Stephanos, in 1545 are mentioned as its founders.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Great Meteoron Monastery, Kalambaka, Trikala Region, Thessaly
The Great Meteoron Monastery is the biggest and oldest one of all. It was called the monastery that was “suspended in the air” (meteoro), because of the formation of the gigantic rock on top of which it was built.
The Great Meteoro Monastery was founded by Saint Athanasios the Meteorite who was the first founder of the monastery and the organizer of the systematic koenovion. For this reason, the foundation of this monastery is considered to be a turning point, or even better, the beginning of the organized monastisicm in Holy Meteora.
Pass By: Holy Trinity Monastery (Agia Triada), Kalambaka, Trikala Region, Thessaly

For this reason, the foundation of this monastery is considered to be a turning point, or even better, the beginning of the organized monastisicm in Holy Meteora.
Pass By: Roussanou Monastery, Kalambaka, Trikala Region, Thessaly
The Holy Monastery of Roussanou has received the name of the first probable hermit who settled on the rock. The main cathedral was founded at the end of the 16th century and was decorated thirty years later.
Compared to other rocks where monasteries were built, the one of Roussanou has a lower elevation, which makes it more accessible. The monastery was initially founded by monks and it suffered severe damage during World War II. It became a convent in 1988.
Pass By: Varlaam Monastery, Kalambaka, Trikala Region, Thessaly
The Holy Monastery of Varlaam is the second biggest monastery. It is located opposite of the Great Meteoro Monastery and it was founded in the mid 14th century by the exercitant Hosios Varlaam.
The elegant monastery Catholicon was built in the honour of Agioi Pantes in 1541-42, by two brothers from Ioannina, the priest-monks Hosioi Theophanes and Nectarios the Apsarades. The main church was decorated in 1548. Based on stylistic criteria, this magnificent wall-painting is attributed to the famous hagiographer from Thebes, Frago Catelano.

Great way to see Meteora. Our guide was awesome! Saw some super cool monasteries. Beautiful sunset...even saw a rainbow earlier in the day.
-
This is an amazing site and a fantastic tour. The Meteora monasteries are breathtaking, but the expertly guided tour adds several more levels which transformed our experience and appreciation of the site. The guide was vastly knowledgeable about history, religion and culture and answered all of our questions thoroughly. The visit to the byzantine church was also very informative and enlightening for us. There was time for only a single monastery but we visited another one on the next morning and it was enough for us.
The bus picked us from the hotel right on time, and was very clean and comfortable.Highly recommended!! If you've come all this way to see Meteora, do yourself a favor and enjoy it to the fullest with a tour.

This tour was amazing!

We had the most amazing time on this sunset tour! We were so worried because it had been raining earlier in the day but the skies cleared and we saw the most beautiful sunset! The tour guides were awesome and visiting the monasteries were great. Our only regret was that we didn't spend more time in this beautiful area during our vacation in Greece!
-
The site is breathtaking, the Monestaries were stunning and Dimitrius was knowledgable, extremely friendly, accommodating and just passionate about his job. You can listen to him for hours.
Please excuse the all the adjectives but if you can't tell I truly enjoyed it.
Thank you

Recommend the panoramic and monastary tour in morning and definately take this tour to really get an excellent overview of the area and its history. Our guide Jim really made this tour special. His extensive knowledge of the history of the area, especially when he gave us a personal in depth tour of the byzantine church in Kalambaka, really helped everone apptrciate the rich history of the Meteori region. Jim also offerred to take everyone's picture in his own fun way and answered everyone's questions.

If you have extra time in Greece, go to Meteora....It's a special place. Arrange a tour of your choice with Viator and spend a night there. Don't try to do a visit in one day....it will be too exhausting. It takes 5 hours to get there from Athens, both ways, either by train or bus. Train feels like it takes forever....bus is more pleasant with a 20 minute stop to get off bus and unwind with food and/or drink.
We did sunset tour which was very good and well organized. Tour guide spoke English and was very informative. At the end of tour you'll be ready to relax with dinner and/or drinks at center of town. I would book again with Viator for other vacation tours.
P.S. If Greece wishes to have tourists visit Meteora, I strongly suggest a faster way to get there and return from Athens. -
Our tour was informative and entertaining! Our guide grew up in the area and had personal anecdotes as well as an in depth knowledge of the sites we visited. He was also able to recommend further activities for the remainder of our stay. The driver was friendly as well, offering to take photos. The van was comfortable and our pick up and drop off were timed perfectly, making this a no-hassle excursion. The sunset was gorgeous although not exactly what we expected as the skies weren't perfectly clear. This trip was a perfect introduction to the area.

There are few places in the world quite as beautiful as Meteora. Not only is it a wonderful place, but the people are friendly and happy and there is a strangeness that makes it all so much more interesting than most places. For this tour, the guide was great! We were picked up at our hotel in a very nice van. Both the driver and the guide were excited and enthusiastic. They were happy to answer questions and took us to so many beautiful places I almost got burnt out on gorgeous vistas. There is no way not to do this tour if you make it up here. It was fabulous!
-
Excellent service! Guide and driver picked me up at the train station and even stopped on the way so I could get a take out lunch. Very friendly and informative guide and the bus was comfortable. You will probably want to stay in the area and spend an extra day so you can walk some of the Meteora trails.
