Arriving in Kalambaka, our English speaking expert escort will be waiting you holding a signboard with your name on it and will transfer you to the Meteora Monasteries. For about four hours you will have the time to explore three Monasteries as well as the hermit caves of Badovas. Meteora is included in the UNESCO world heritage monument list.
At the end of the day, our escort will transfer you back to Kalambaka, where you will have the time to stroll around and have a light lunch (not included). At 17:35 p.m. the train departs from Kalambaka, and arrives at 22:00 back to Athens.

Amazing place.. great tour .. such a nice vibe! We visit to monasteries and that was cool the view is amazing
What a beautiful and amazing place! We had a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. The tour would have been improved if we had been told in advance how much the entry fee was at each monastery and what clothing was required for women and why. In addition, when we received an email the day before telling us our train tickets were attached, they were actually not attached. We called Viator and a helpful person found our tickets and sent them to us. A little stressful but everything got resolved.
I enjoyed this tour and think it is worth the time for anyone staying in Athens for more than 3 days. It was a great way to see Meteora without staying overnight. Yes, it’s a long time on the train, but in my opinion, was worth it. Tip-Bring Euro change with you on the train, because the food cabin will not be able to break large bills and the credit card machine will not work.
I loved the history. And the views were magnificent. Kate was our hostess she is knowledgeable and a great story teller.

This is a must do! The guide and driver were great, super knowledgeable and kind. This site is one of a kind and amazing. Let women know to wear a skirt or bring a large scarf-we all had them but didn’t know they were necessary
