A Day Tour From Athens

The Meteora is a rock formation in Central Grecce hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries. Meteora is located near the town of Kalabaka, which is around 355 kilometers 5 hours away from Athens. Meteora is the largest archaeological site of Greece, it has been a UNESCO World Heiritage Site since 1989. A vast complex of giant rock pillars with monasteries made on the picks of the sandstone cliffs centuries ago creates a truly surreal landscape found nowhere else in the world. Today only six monasteries are active, during our tour, we visited 3 out of 6, that is Holy Monastery of St. Nicholas Anapafsas, Holy Monastery of St. Stephen ( the most easy access with a stone bridge ) and Holy Monastery of Holy Trinity. In order to visit all the six monasteries, you need to stay at least for 1 night, you also need to take note of their different opening hours. 3 euros need for the entrance fee to the monastery .
