First sight of the Unesco world heritage is breathtaking watching the grey vertical rocks as we approach .Upon arrival we shall visit Meteora and the 2 major monasteries.

Great day trip to Meteora from Athens - Such a remarkable place. Our guide Katerina and driver Kostas were great. Learned so much about the area and had plenty of time to take epic photos. Great day trip from Athens.
