From Athens: Meteora 2-Day Trip with 2 Guided Tours & Hotels

- This two-day Meteora tour from Athens lets you experience it all without feeling rushed. Travel by luxury coach, stay in a 3-star or 4-star hotel with breakfast, and visit all six monasteries. Enjoy a sunset tour and choose between sightseeing or hiking on the second day, with all transfers included. - Your expert guide brings Meteora to life with stories about secret monk traditions, hidden details in the monasteries, and the area’s history through empires and invasions. - On the first day, take a sunset tour through Kalabaka’s Old Town to the 1,000-year-old Byzantine Church of the Virgin Mary, ending at a remote viewpoint where the sun sets behind Meteora’s jagged spires. - On the second day, choose between a sightseeing tour and a hiking tour. The sightseeing tour invites you to explore 2 to 3 monasteries, each with its own unique story, from the towering domes of Varlaam to the fresco-filled halls of Great Meteoron, the oldest and largest of them all. - The hiking tour takes you beyond the usual routes, following ancient monk trails through shaded forests and up to panoramic cliffside plateaus, perfect for stunning views without the crowds. - Did you know? The old kitchen at Great Meteoron Monastery still holds a giant iron cauldron once used to cook for dozens of monks. It was stirred with a wooden paddle that’s taller than the average person, and it’s still on display today.
