Embark on a full day private trip from Athens to Meteora, the UNESCO listed monasteries. Explore the rock formations, visit monasteries, enjoy a traditional Greek lunch, and see the legendary battlefield of Thermopylae.
- Meteora - After the fascinating tour of the 3 most accessible monasteries, you can enjoy a delightful lunch with Greek traditional dishes and “Mezedes” in the picturesque Kastraki village.
- Meteora - Breathtakingly surreal and serenely spiritual, the Metéora monasteries spring forth from a dreamy landscape of rocky megaliths in the plains of the Thessaly Valley. The first hermits came to this far-removed corner of Greece at least as early as the 11th century to withdraw from the world and contemplate divinity. Christian Orthodox monks began building monasteries here in the 14th century. Originally 24 monasteries stood at this astonishing location, built onto the edges of vertiginous cliffs or perched on sheer sandstone formations as high as 300 meters. With their exalted heights and almost mystical inaccessibility, the Metéora monasteries seem to soar towards heaven and reflect the human striving for holiness. Please be modestly dressed. Women are suggested to wear long skirts & long sleeves. If you do not have, you will be given a skirt in your way in.
- Battlefield of Thermopylae - On your way back to Athens, stop at Thermopylae, where one of most epic battles of all times took place. 300 Spartans faced the Persian army and stopped them for 2 days. See the battlefield and the statue of King Leonidas.

Take a private journey in a luxury vehicle or spacious minivan to experience the awe-inspiring Meteora, a UNESCO world heritage site renowned for its monasteries. Aptly named ‘middle of the sky’, the monasteries of Metéora tower majestically, appearing almost unreachable, symbolising humanity’s spiritual aspirations. The captivating tour integrates a visit to the three most accessible monasteries, followed by a delectable lunch featuring authentic Greek dishes and “Mezedes” in the charming village of Kastraki. On the return trip to Athens, take a moment to appreciate Thermopylae, the infamous location where 300 Spartans held off the Persian army for two days. Tour the battlefield, and pay respects to the statue of King Leonidas.
