Meteora: Small Group Day Trip from Thessaloniki
Discover the enchanting Meteora on a full-day small group excursion from Thessaloniki. A jewel of Orthodoxy and a unique geological phenomenon listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. The trip will start from your accommodation early in the morning. After a 3-hour drive and a stop on the way, your group will reach the town of Kalambaka right under the Meteora cliffs.
From there, you will head to Kastraki, the closest village to the monasteries and then to the observation points to take some amazing photos. You will visit Gran Meteoro Monastery which is the largest of them all, and then a second monastery, depending on your liking.
Explore the monastery interiors, ancient frescoes and the remarkable way of life of the monks who once inhabited these clifftop sanctuaries, the magnificent views from the peaks of these cliffs and the great panorama that the area offers. (Please note that if you need guidance from an official tour guide inside the monastery, it can be arranged at an additional cost.)
After your visit, your tour leader will take you to Kalambaka, where you can have a rest and enjoy a coffee, drink or snack. Later, start your return drive to Thessaloniki.
