Meteora Tour (12 hours)

Meteora
Enjoy the scenic drive on the Greek countryside that brings you to the magnificent land of Meteora.

Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is home to more than 20 rock monasteries, either perched precariously on top of Meteora’s towering sandstone cliffs or built into the cliffs themselves inside naturally formed caves. Visit two of the incredible monasteries and hear fun facts and trivia about the monks who once called them homes. Originally lived in by 11th-century hermits, the monasteries later became safe havens for monks fleeing bloodshed when the Eastern Roman Empire started to face its downfall.

The Holy Monastery of Great Meteoron, The Holy Monastery of Varlaam, Agios Stefanos Monastery
The two monasteries you may visit are subject to change but typically include The Holy Monastery of Great Meteoron, The Holy Monastery of Varlaam, and Agios Stefanos Monastery
Meteora combines natural beauty and cultural heritage- a fact that makes it a unique destination among the monuments of the world.

Kalambaka, Thermopylae
After lunch at a traditional Greek tavern in Kalambaka, you will head towards Athens. The full route lasts around five hours, so enjoy a stop in the town of Thermopylae to see the statue of warrior King Leonidas standing right in front of Kolonos Hill where 300 fearless Spartans lost their lives during the great battle of Thermopylae in 480 BCE.

Travel onward to the Greek capital, and finish your day tour with a drop-off at the start point.
