Know before you go
What to bring
- Bring some cash for entrance donations (€3 to €5 per monastery) and any purchases, as credit card facilities may not be available.

- Carry water and light snacks, especially during warmer months (June to August).

Additional information

- All monasteries require a €3 to €5 offering per person, payable in cash at the gate.
- Tour guides are not allowed inside the monasteries. To continue exploring while inside, take advantage of the multilingual audio guides.
- Tours use minibuses or local shuttles to transport visitors between sites.
- Basic toilets are available at larger monasteries (Great Meteoron, Varlaam, St. Stephen) and may require a small tip.
