Meeting point

  • Journey into the history of Greece with a day tour from Athens to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Meteora
  • Enjoy roundtrip transport, a 4-hour guided tour in a VIP minibus, and access to one, two or three monasteries
  • Learn the mind-blowing story of how these monasteries were built, and capture some of Europe's most unique views

Constructed by ancient monks, the monasteries at the top of Meteora look out over some of the most spellbinding scenery anywhere in Greece. Quite how these monks managed to build these immense structures at the top of sheer rock formations is one of history's great stories.

On this adventure from Athens, you'll learn all about that story. With roundtrip bus transport, a 4-hour guided tour, and entry to one, two or three monasteries included in this ticket, you can sit back and let the wonder wash over you.

Discover the history of this spectacular UNESCO World Heritage site, and start by taking a bus from Athens. You'll be picked up at Kalabaka and whisked into the mountains in a VIP minibus with an expert local tour guide.

Visit one, two or three of the monasteries, depending on your preference, and savor sweeping panoramic views while being told tales of spirituality and conquest.

You'll have plenty to think about on the ride back to Athens!
