Itinerary

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Catch the bus of 08:00 am to Kalambaka in the morning from opposite the Athens Railway Station and enjoy a trip that will give you the chance to admire the beauty of the countryside. Arrive around 12:30 pm in Kalambaka, a small town built at the foot of the majestic grey rocks, and crowded by the Meteora Monasteries.

  • Meteora

    Arriving in Kalambaka, our English speaking expert escort will be waiting you holding a signboard with your name on it and will transfer you to the Meteora Monasteries. For almost 5 hours you will have the time to explore two Monasteries as well as the hermit caves of Badovas. Meteora is included in the UNESCO world heritage monument list. The monasteries are perched on top of towers of sandstone, which for centuries provided totally inaccessible retreats for the monks. The most visited Monastery is the Holy Monastery of Great Meteoron, which is the largest of the monasteries located at Meteora. It was erected in the mid-14th century and was the subject of restoration and embellishment projects in 1483 and 1552. The building serves as the main museum for tourists. The Katholikon (main church), consecrated in honour of the Transfiguration of Jesus was erected in the middle of 14th century and 1387/88 and decorated in 1483 and 1552.

    5 hours

Must take when in Athens

Published on Nov, 2024

It was an amazing day of fantastic views and warm atmosphere on the tour. Dimitris was our guide, very knowledgeable and professional, and provided us with all the necessary information we needed on this tour. It was fun and interesting. Highly recommend this tour for a one day getaway when staying in Athens.
