Es war ein außergewöhnliches Erlebnis mit sehr hilfsbereiter und sympathischer Führung und umsichtigen freundlichen Busfahrern.
Set off on a full-day trip to Meteora from Athens. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and marvel at the monasteries built on the towering pillar-like rocks. Explore two monasteries and get a glimpse into the life of Greek Christian monks.
Be picked up in the morning from one of the designated meeting points in Athens. Board the coach that will take you to Kalabaka in less than 4 hours. Sit back and relax looking out the window and take in the stunning countryside as you travel and snap some photos. Arrive in the traditional town of Kalabaka by noon, the perfect time for a traditional lunch to fill you up with energy. Afterward, your guided tour of Meteora will start. The city is built on the foot of the majestic Meteora rocks. You will see the 6 monasteries and enter 2 of them (every day there are only 2 or 3 open).
Hear the story of how the Meteora rock formations were created millions of years ago and learn about the nature and the history of this place from your guide. In the 9th century, monks began inhabiting them again and in the 14th century, the first monasteries were built. Nowadays, Meteora is home to one of the most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries. After the tour, the bus will take you back to Kalabaka town so that you enjoy free time for a meal, coffee, and/or shopping before you take the coach back to Athens.
