I liked the service provided by the tour guide, the drivers and the company as a whole. Eva was so kind, considerate , and hospitable. She made sure everyone's needs were met. She answered all our questions with kindness. The tour itself was worth the long bus ride, the views from the bus were breathtaking. Meteora now holds a special place in our hearts. Its beauty and history is something to behold and remembered.
We have seen beautiful lanscapes and monasteries of Greece. We had a charming tourguide.
The tour was awesome! The drivers are very good given that Athens traffic is not for the faint of heart. Meteora guide was very nice and knowledgable. 10/10
Wonderful tour with informative explanations on Meteora and the monasteries. Our guide, Maria from Meteora Thrones was amazing!! So professional and kind. 100% recommend!
The excursion to Meteora was really worth it: the scenery is breathtaking and the perched monasteries are just incredible 😍 On the other hand, I'd like to comment on the organization... The bus journey is already very long, but on top of that, our bus broke down on the way 😬 We waited almost an hour for another one to come and pick us up, without any apology or explanation. Luckily, the place was worth it, because it was really magical once we got there ✨
A wonderful day in the hands of a good coach driver 'Costa' and very in formative guide, sorry forgot the younge lady from Kalabaka, will remember this day and have some great pic to show
Good tour, thanks to our guide Yiannis

This was a fantastic trip from start to finish. Great communication at all points of the trip made the journey seamless. We opted for the 3 star hotel which was a great hotel with very good breakfast included. The two included tours, run by Meteora Thrones, were excellent. It was a bit foggy for our sunset tour but our guide Yannis made it fun and was very informative and flexible to suit the weather. We had opted for the hike on day 2 but due to the weather we couldn't do it. This actually worked out very well! We did the Monastery Tour in the van in the morning and then asked to be dropped in Kastraki when the tour ended. We then had about 4 hours free time so we hiked up to Holy Trinity Monastery (which was not on our tour) starting from Kastraki and hiked back down to Kalabaka to finish, eat and meet the minivan. In the end, we felt we had the best of both worlds. The minivans were excellent as were our drivers and guides (sorry, I can't remember the name of the young lady guide on Day 2). Would definitely recommend this tour and doing two days.
Enjoy an overnight Meteora tour from Athens featuring all six monasteries, a cozy hotel stay, and flexible hiking or sightseeing options.

Meteora stuns from the very first glance. Towering sandstone pillars, sculpted by millions of years of wind and water, rise like ancient monuments from the Thessalian plain. Once hidden beneath a vast prehistoric lake, these cliffs now soar over 400 meters, their summits crowned by monasteries that seem to float between earth and sky.
Perched atop stone giants, Meteora’s monasteries were once accessible only by rope ladders and pulleys. Today, six remain active, offering a glimpse into a life of devotion and endurance. Great Meteoron, the largest and oldest, showcases ancient manuscripts, religious relics, and beautifully preserved frescoes. Varlaam Monastery impresses with its elegant chapel and panoramic terraces, while Rousanou charms with lush gardens and delicate iconography.
As the sun sets behind Meteora’s towering spires, the landscape transforms in a way that feels almost magical. The rocks are bathed in a golden sheen, their jagged faces glowing against the deepening sky. Shadows stretch across the valley, and the air takes on a mystical stillness, as if time itself is holding its breath.
A network of trails winds through the heart of the region, leading you past hidden caves, along cliffs that seem to touch the sky, and through valleys where ancient chapels stand quietly. Whether you’re hiking up to the Great Meteoron for sweeping views or following a serene path to a secluded chapel, every moment offers a fresh perspective of the monasteries and rock formations.
Home to rare birds like the griffon vulture, wild goats, and foxes, Meteora’s cliffs, forests, and valleys offer a peaceful refuge for wildlife, giving visitors the chance to spot these creatures in their natural habitat.
Just a stone's throw from Meteora, the town of Kalambaka offers a taste of local life, where lively markets overflow with handmade crafts, fresh produce, and mouthwatering Greek delicacies. The surrounding villages still cherish time-honored traditions, like the ancient art of stone-carving and textile crafting, passed down through generations. Here, you don’t just see the rocks, you experience the life that’s flourished beside them for centuries.
Yes, all full-day tours include round-trip transfers to and from Athens, Thessaloniki, and Kalambaka in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach, ensuring a stress-free and convenient journey to Meteora.
The journey from Athens to Meteora by bus takes approximately 4.5 to 5 hours, depending on traffic and the route.
The spring (April to June) and fall (September to November) are the best times to visit, as the weather is mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), and the crowds are smaller compared to the peak summer months.
St. Stephen's Monastery is the most accessible, with a paved path and minimal stairs, making it suitable for visitors with limited mobility.
A half-day tour can cover a few monasteries, while a full-day Meteora tour allows you to explore more thoroughly. For a more immersive experience, you might consider a 2-day tour to fully appreciate the monasteries and hiking routes.
The Kastraki Viewpoint and the area near St. Stephen's Monastery offer the best sunset views, where you can capture stunning photos of the monasteries in the golden hour light.
