Embark on a Spiritual Journey through the Majestic Meteora
The day-long experience begins with a pleasant morning pickup from one of the four central meeting points in Athens. As you travel towards Meteora in a luxurious air-conditioned limo minibus, the scenic beauty of the Greek countryside unfolds itself. After a relaxing journey, you reach the quaint town of Kalabaka, nestled at the feet of the Meteora rocks. Here, you'll refuel with a delicious, complimentary two-course lunch, with vegan and vegetarian options available. A local guide then takes you on an awe-inspiring tour of Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, revered as one of the most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries.
Discover the Monks' Cave and the Wonders of Meteora
Be amazed to learn that these towering pillar-like rocks, now home to six monasteries, were once the dwelling place of Greek Christian monks in the 9th century. The fascinating audio guide, available in six languages, takes you through the geological history of these natural marvels, crafted millions of years ago. Visit two of these six monasteries and the Badouva Caves, providing a unique insight into the life of the monks. The tour offers numerous photo stops, allowing you to capture the stunning landscapes and the unforgettable view of Meteora.
