1.Meteora Monasteries Day Trip with Caves and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,670 reviews · 14 hours · from $87Our pick

From Athens, visit Meteora’s cliff-top monasteries with a live guide, Hermit Caves, and optional Greek lunch on a comfortable coach.

“Even though the day started with thick fog and we couldn’t see anything at first, this tour was fantastic. Clement was an excellent guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and great at turning the foggy start into something fun and interesting. Once the mist lifted, everything he’d explained made the views even more impressive. Vasilis, our driver, was hilarious and welcoming, constantly reminding us to “no relax” because another quick photo stop was always coming. The views were epic, the monasteries incredible to visit inside, and the whole experience unforgettable thanks to this great team.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 590 reviews · 13 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $60Top rated

Stress-free Meteora day trip from Athens with hotel pickup, Hermit Caves, monastery visits, optional lunch, and helpful audio guidance.

“It’s a long trip but definitely worth it! We are a family of 4 with two kids, 14 and 8. We were picked up in coach on time from the meeting point. Then drove to Meteora. We met our guide there. The tour started with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. There are 6 functional monasteries at Meteora, 4 male and 2 female. Because it’s winter and the close pretty early, we had the chance to enter two of them and see the others from the outside. The briefing before each one of them was great. Our guide there was wonderful! She was accommodating, patient, and the nicest ever.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 139 reviews · 2 days · from $141

Meteora 2-day trip from Athens with hotel, guided sunset, and 4 monasteries plus Byzantine church and hermit caves, with optional hike.

“This tour is amazing. We loved the guide and the bus driver so much we ended up staying another 2 nights so we could book the hiking tour as well. Worth the money. We spent 3 days with this company with 3 different guides, all had so much different knowledge to share we didn't feel we doubled up at all. We visited Meteora 25yrs ago (in 2000) so glad we spent the extra money this time on guides.”

10.Meteora Caves & Monasteries History Day Trip by Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 70 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $126

Athens by train to Meteora, then a small-group visit to cliff monasteries and Hermit Caves. Wi-Fi, photo stops, cash fees inside.

“This was one of the highlights of our trip. The only downside was the bus ride between the train and when the tour operator picked us up. That part was cramped and hot. The tour operator and driver were amazing. They were very nice and strived to make a connection with everyone on the trip. The driver was amazing at taking photos and we felt like we had a professional photo shoot. The tour operator really loves the area and the culture and you could tell. They did everything they could to make our tour as good as it could be and they succeeded.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 53 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $480

3-day Delphi and Meteora trip from Athens with guided UNESCO sights, 2 nights in Amalia hotels, included meals, and coach comfort.

“Pros - Great knowledgeable and informative guides - Rose in Delphi and Yiota for Meteora. The bus drivers were very good also. The places we saw were fantastic - archeological site of Delphi, Delphi Museum, the scenery, Thermopylae, Meteora and entrance to two of the monasteries in Meteora. The bus rides were always broken up in segments of 2 hours or less so we had a fair amount of stops. Neutral - the Amalia Hotels were not necessarily great but had a pool, a bar, lots of lounging areas, etc. The rooms were clean but dated. The food at the restaurant/buffet was just ok - not great. However, we noted…”
