Itinerary
- 1GETTING TO KALAMPAKA: Departing from Athens, the train is by far the most pleasant way to get to Kalambaka. From Athens or Thessaloniki, you can take either a train or a bus up to Meteora. The trains servicing the northern part of Greece leave from the “Larissa station” in Athens, while the buses serving that part of the country leave from Terminal B, at Liossion Street. Also, we can schedule to pick you up from Athens or Thessaloniki with a minibus. (Contact us for more information) In case you arrive in Kalambaka by train, we can pick you up from the train station and start the tour. TOUR HIGHLIGHTS: Visit Saint Antonios, where the first hermits arrived in the area of Meteora Visit 3 monasteries Visit St George the Mandilas Stops in many spots for amazing photos Visit the Byzantine church dedicated virgin Mary which is built 300 years before the first monks arrived in Meteora

Thanos was a safe and skilled driver, navigating the winding roads effortlessly, which allowed us to sit back and fully enjoy the spectacular views.

- Navigator118391523560 contributionsHighly recommend!I am Greek and I have visited Meteora many times in my life! I always enjoy going there. For our wedding my husband and I decided to take our friends and family on a group trip and this tour company was AMAZING! I am so happy we booked with Meteora Tour. We did the morning tour and one of our groups was late to the tour, and the tour guide (Ioanna) was SO kind and waited for all of us to arrive. Ioanna was VERY knowledgeable about the history of the region and we absolutely loved her and the bus driver (Stathis)! One of the best experiences I have ever had with a tour company. At the end of the tour they even provided ice cold waters for us (we were so greatful for this in the mid-august heat)!! I am so thankful to them for helping create such a wonderful memory of my wedding week. Thank you so much!!Written August 27, 2024

- estrangherongi0 contributionsMeteora: Unforgettable JourneyWe booked a sunset tour and a morning tour the following day with this company. Thanus was fortunately our guide for our custom trip, and the journey was amazing for both trips. He drove a minivan which is super spacious. Thanus was very methodical with the journey, giving insights on location and history of places visited. He led us to some hidden spots away from tourists. Sunset was of course amazing and along with the monasteries, Varlam being our favourite. The best Souvlaki we tasted in Greece was his recommendation. I highly recommend this company and their tour. One of the best Greece experience we had.Written June 27, 2024

- X145UMjulia0 contributionsAmazing trip to MeteoraMy boyfriend and I booked through Adrianos Travel in Monastiraki, then we were picked up at the train station in Kalabaka by an amazing guide, Ioanna, who made our trip incredible. She was very knowledgable and overall very fun to be around. We stopped in a lot of different places to take pictures and get more insight on the history of the place. It was a very reduced group so it all felt very personalized. Do not miss the chance to go on this tour, I know I will be coming back for more! Thank you so so much!!

- Pifuwi0 contributionsAmazing tourWe booked an afternoon tour in Feb 24 and were surprised that only 4 of us were on the tour, so its like a private tour for our family. Our guide (Joanna) and our driver (Kostas) - I hope I get the names correctly, were so lovely and attentive. Joanna was so nice to talk to and provided us very informative and interesting details. Kostas stopped at all nice spots for photos and even walked out of the car and looked out for passing cars while we took photos. The tour was amazing, landscape and monateries are so beautiful and out of this world. We enjoyed the tour so much. Thank you again Joanna and Kostas!Written February 28, 2024

Our trip to the Meteora monasteries was an absolute dream! Our very nice tour guide Areti took us to the monasteries (some we could also visit from the inside) and gave us a lot of interesting information about the history. She also answered all our questions extremely kindly and competenty. Areti took us to numerous photo stops that we would never have found on our own. We were absolutely thrilled with our excursion, as well as with our wonderful tour guide, who introduced us to her homeland with a lot of charisma and enthusiasm. We definitely recommend this tour!!!

The tour was fantastic. Only a small group of 8. Mr Nikos( our driver) and Virtue ( our guide) were friendly, informative and passionate about Meteora. The took us to the monasteries with great timing managing to be ahead of big tour groups thus avoiding big queues.
A small group is the way to do a tour if you can manage it.

Thanasis was an amazing person who was with us the whole time. He planned the itinerary very effectively, stopped at many great photo spots along the way. He is also a good photographer, took some great photos. Lastly he took us to a restaurant where the food was amazing (restaurant name: Μπυραρία Ζυθορυχείο) . Overall we spent a nice day. Highly recommended for people coming from athens by train.

We did this tour as a day trip from Athens and were met at the train station by Nikos (our driver) and Christina (our guide). They were both very fun and did a great job of giving us as much time to look around and take pictures as possible without cutting it too close for our return train. Christina was engaging and fun to listen to and she was very informative. Both Christina and Nikos were enthusiastic and made sure we came home with some fun photos. We really enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to anyone.

We spent a wonderful time with Kristina (tour guide) and Nikolai ( the driver) . They made the time excellent. Kristina told us a lot about Meteory and Nikolai even kept an eye on our little daughter who fell asleep in the car. They took us to many photo spots where we could take amazing photos and admire breathtaking views. The monasteries and the place itself made a great impression and the tour guide and the driver were such passionate and warm hearted people that we felt like home. That was an amazing trip !

This was an incredible must-see/ do experience! Our tour guide Cristina (spelling?) and driver Nikolas (spelling?) picked us up from the train station. Our train was late and they waited for us which was great! We were a small 4 person group so we got a very personal and intimate tour which was refreshing since we watched many other travelers get on large crowded tour busses. Cristina passionately shared the history of the monasteries and rock formations with us and Nikolas took us to all the perfect photo stops. They were a great team, made us feel very comfortable, taken care of and even offered to continue the tour for longer if we wanted to. (Of course we would have, had we not had a train back to Athens). To end our lovely tour, they dropped us off at a restaurant of our choice to have dinner. Great experience! We will definitely be back!

Amazing tour around the magic valley of Meteora. Nikolas & Cristina came to pick us up at the train stain of Kalambaka. From there, they brought us around from one side to the other one of the Valley for 4 hours. We visited 3 monastery out of 6 and we stopped in every single best spots for pictures and for enjoying the view.
They are very friendly, caring people and very good photographers! Cristina, the tour leader, is very happy to entrain you with the story and the best tips about the area. She is always keen to answer at any question. Nikolas, the driver, is a real character and I strongly recommend this tour with them!

It's beautiful but NOT worth it.
More than 4 hours there and the same back. You have to go by bus from Athens since there is no train service.
They stop you to eat in half an hour, it's a crappy roadside bar
When you arrive after eating the place is BEAUTIFUL, but very small. At the first stop you have already seen it.
Then they make many stops so you can see the same thing from other points. The almost 9 hours of transportation are not worth it. They don't return you to Athens at 11:00 p.m., without dinner, unless you buy snacks at the stop on the way in another crappy bar.

Is it okay if women do not have a skirt? I read the monasteries offer a wrap skirt but I wanted to make sure it's okay to not have one. Thanks!
