Discover the Meteora Monasteries, where the architecture integrates with the rock formations at over 600 meters high.

Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we will pick you up by minibus at the meeting point in Kalambaka to start the journey to Meteora, known for its hanging monasteries. The brief journey of approximately 20 minutes highlights the monasteries perched atop rocky formations. During the tour, we will share stories and interesting facts about Meteora and its monasteries, including its selection as a filming location for Game of Thrones.

Historically, 24 monasteries existed in Meteora, but today only six are accessible: Great Meteoron, Varlaam, Rousanou, St. Nicholas Anapausas, St. Stephen, and Holy Trinity. We will visit three monasteries depending on the day of your tour. Please note that visits inside the monasteries are not guided, but information will be provided before entry.

The tour lasts a total of 4 hours, concluding with a transfer back to Kalambaka.

Visit to the Monasteries

During the tour, you will visit the interiors of three monasteries, subject to their schedule; some may be closed on specific days. For example, Great Meteoron Monastery is closed every Tuesday, and if your visit falls on this day, we will admire its exterior instead. There are no guided tours inside the monasteries, but an audio guide can be downloaded for your visit.
