Highway 6 from Larisa leads across the Thessalian plain through Trikala after which you begin to see the first of the rock pillars whose strange shapes give the landscape of the Meteora its distinctive character.
The little town of Kalambaka lies at the foot of the Meteora and a road from the town takes a short circular route around the monasteries perched high on the rocks.

I took the 4-day classical tour with a visit to Meteora last October and it was a nice experience. I had read about it in a brochure and thought it would be interesting to take it, since I did not want to rent a car and go on my own. We went by bus actually and the trip was pretty comfortable. There were adequate refreshment stops on the way and the guide was very friendly. She was a nice middl...

I joined the Four Days Classical Tour with Meteora, Greece, it was a trip I found very interesting when I was first informed about it. Actually, it was my daughter who talked to me about it and recommended it with much enthusiasm! It was a comfortable trip, no delays or difficulties. What I mostly enjoyed was the drive along the coast and of course, Acropolis. I was also impressed by the driver...

Tours: Worth to take it even if long.

The 4-day tour to Meteora was fine but quite tiring. The destination was too far and therefore sometimes the trip could get exhausted, especially for older people. However, it is worth to take it. You will see beautiful monasteries, amazing ancient sites and impressive sceneries. The trip with the bus is OK if you do not mind traveling. N. Harvy, 63, Australian

I went in Meteora in Greece last July with a group, it was an organized tour for two days. We took the bus from Athens in the morning, arrived in Trikala and then again to the Monasteries. The trip lasted about 5 hours but it was comfortable. I found the Monasteries in Meteora so amazing, like hanging on the rocks! We hade a guide who explained all the history of them. I hadn�t seen anything ...

Tours: Nice and interesting experience

Hi, I'm from America, I've visited up to 5 countries and in the summer of 2006 I visited Meteora in Greece. I read about a tour to Meteora on a brochure, and I decided to go. We left at 9:00 in the morning on a bus, from an easy point to find, but some people were late so we were delayed. I must say that the welcome we received was not really warm. The trip was comfortable, and I liked the ...

General: The monasteries were incredible.

It was my first visit to Meteora, the landscape was so beautiful. When we got to the first monastery I couldn't help but think, how was anyone able to build anything on top of those rock formations. It truley is an amazing example of human inginuity and will. Meteora is a must see if you are in the Thessaly area of Greece.
