Full-day Private Sightseeing Tour to Meteora from Athens

This full-day excursion departs from Athens, Greece's vibrant capital city. On your sightseeing tour from Athens, you'll travel to Meteora, located in the Thessaly region in Central Greece. Meteora is one of Greece’s most breathtaking landscapes, famous for its towering rock pillars and monasteries perched on top of cliffs. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a spiritual, historical, and geological wonder!

The adventure begins at the meeting point in Athens, or with pick-up from your accommodation (please specify your location when booking). You'll be greeted by the experienced guide and board the air-conditioned minivan. This excursion is for private groups, ensuring a personalised and intimate experience. After a quick itinerary briefing, your sightseeing tour to Meteora begins! You'll embark on an approximately 4-5 hour scenic drive to the site. Meteora is located beside the town of Kalambaka.

Upon arrival at the base, you'll have a guided tour of Meteora and its historical monasteries! Meteora’s landscape was formed millions of years ago, with massive sandstone and conglomerate rock pillars shaped by erosion. It became a monastic centre in the 14th century, when monks sought isolation and built monasteries atop the cliffs to avoid invasions. Originally, 24 monasteries were constructed, but only six remain active today. During the tour, you'll visit three of the monasteries and admire the stunning panoramic views. You'll also stop for lunch during the day. After exploring the unique site, you'll be driven back to your original starting point in Athens.
