The drivers and the guide were incredibly kind and helpful. The bus takes you all the way to the site entrance, which means much less walking and fewer stairs to climb. For a day trip, taking the bus is definitely a must!

Great guide in Clement. The trip was well organised with plenty of stop overs. The sights of Meteora were amazing. However, probably best to start tour at 7am to beat the summer heat. Bring a few bottles of water during summer. Bus driver John was great, got home safely.

The tour left on time, and the ride was smooth and comfortable. The stops along the way to and from Meteora were very well organized. Our guide was excellent—very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. Overall, a great experience!

All good! But too much time was spent taking photos at the end, with the guide stopping the bus wherever it was so people could take pictures. It would be better to do that at the beginning, when people have more energy.

We went on the English speaking tour and had Vaso as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the monasteries the local area and geology which was an added bonus. Inside the chapels, is the most beautiful artwork and intricate carvings I have ever seen. For me, my favourite places were St Barbara and St Stephan. Everywhere you look there is so much history and so much work that has gone into building these sanctuaries. I 100% recommend this tour. Is it a long day? Yes it is. Is it worth it? 1000% yes. Book the tour, you will not be disappointed.

Overall, this tour offers excellent value for money! I highly recommend choosing the option with lunch included. The only downside is that on the way back, the bus stops at a rest area where you have no other dining options, and the food there is quite expensive. If you decide not to eat there, you’ll arrive back in Athens after 9:00 PM. Other than that, everything was great. The tour guide was excellent, and the driver was very professional. Most of the stops gave us enough time to explore, although I felt the last photo stop could have been a little longer.

What to bring

Bring cash for any small purchases.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes with a good grip. Trails and monastery steps can be uneven and steep.

Carry water and a light snack, especially during the summer months (June to August).

Don’t forget earphones and a fully charged smartphone if you plan to use the audio guide during your visit.

A modest dress code is strictly enforced at all monasteries. Men should wear long pants, while women must wear long skirts and cover their shoulders. Wrap skirts and shawls are available at the entrance if needed.

What's not allowed

Photography is welcome in outdoor areas, but taking pictures inside churches, or of monks and nuns, is not permitted.

Drone use is strictly forbidden unless you have special permission.

Accessibility

Most of Meteora’s sites are not wheelchair-friendly, as all monasteries involve climbing stairs or navigating inclined paths.

For visitors with limited mobility, St. Stephen’s Monastery offers the easiest access, with a level, paved path and minimal steps.

Additional information

4 pick-up points are available: Melina Mercouri Monument Plaka (at 7am), Greek Parliament (at 7:05am), Omonoia Square (at 7:15am), and Karaiskaki Square (at 7:25am).

Toilets are available at larger monasteries like Great Meteoron, Varlaam, and St. Stephen’s. A small tip is often expected when using them.

Your voucher will be emailed to you instantly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the meeting point.
