Meteora Day Trip
Descripción
Perched atop jagged cliffs, the monasteries of Meteora blend seamlessly into the natural landscape, and you can experience them on this day trip from Athens.
Tour Details
We will meet at Athens Central Station at the scheduled time to begin our journey to Meteora, with our first stop at Kalambaka Station.
After a roughly four-hour trip, we will arrive in Kalambaka and then head toward the Meteora monasteries. A short break will precede the tour for lunch. You will have about four hours to explore the Meteora complex, visiting three of the six monasteries: St. Nicholas, St. Stephen, Holy Trinity, Great Meteoron, Roussanou, and Varlaam, all featuring impressive views.
Before returning to Kalambaka, we will stop at the Hermit Caves, situated between rock formations known as Pyxari and Amparia. The excursion concludes after a total duration of 14 hours.
