Athens: Meteora Monasteries Day Trip with Caves and Lunch

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.”

“The monasteries were amazing! Even with rain and low clouds, the scenery was spectacular! Food was good or great everywhere we went.

“This is a fantastic 4 day land tour of the major ancient sites on the main land of Greece. We did this tour before going on a cruise of the Greek islands. It is well planned out and organized. Our tour guide for the whole 4 days, Xenia, was Amazing! She was a walking scholar on Ancient Greek civilization providing in-depth insights to all the places we visited. We had a small group of 9 people which made moving around places easy. I was unsure about booking a 4 day tour with an unknown tour company but the reviews we read before booking were positive and our experience on the…”

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.…”
