What to expect

Embark on a full-day journey from Athens to the breathtaking Meteora, known for its sky-high monasteries and spiritual serenity. Begin your adventure with a comfortable departure from Athens at 08:00 AM, right across from the central train station. Travel in a premium, air-conditioned coach with a professional English-speaking driver and take in the scenic countryside views as you journey towards Kalabaka. Skip the busy highway rest areas—enjoy a peaceful brunch by the sea, just steps from the water. Sip your coffee or savour a light meal with ocean views and fresh coastal air. Meals are optional and can be pre-ordered via our onboard app for a hassle-free experience. Arriving in Kalabaka, switch to a local VIP minibus and meet your expert guide for an immersive exploration of Meteora. Your expert local guide will take you to three of the most famous monasteries, with short photo stops at all six. Along the way, you’ll enjoy spectacular views and hear fascinating stories about the history and spiritual life of Meteora. Step into the early spiritual history of Meteora as you explore the hidden hermit caves carved into the cliffs by the region's first monks. After the cave visit, relax over optional lunch in the village of Kastraki, where traditional Greek dishes are served in a tranquil setting. Meals are not included and are paid directly at the restaurant. On your return, enjoy a final optional stop in Kamena Vourla around 8:00 PM for dinner beside the sea.
