Full description
The tour begins either from Kalabaka or from your accommodation in the area. Be driven up to Meteora in a luxurious mini-bus where an experienced and skilled tour leader will explain to you the history of Meteora and show you hidden places that only locals know about. See the 1000-year old hermitage of Bandovas, which was built like a cave system. You will also see the Byzantine Church located in a small neighborhood of Kalambaka, which was built over ancient ruins. Later, visit a monastery to admire the Christian architecture and see the frescoes in the churches.

This was a really wonderful journey! Our guide Chris is very friendly guy with excellent sense of humour, but moreover he is brilliant storyteller who loves the land where he is living in. We have seen a lot of great sights of Meteora, visited Saint Stephen monastery and apart from that one “surprise” was waiting us - visit to the Byzantine church at the foothills of Meteora mountains with splendid frescoes from the Comnenos period till the recent times. I can recommend this tour to everyone who likes nature, history and art. And many thanks to Chris!

Katharina war eine sehr freundliche Reiseleiterin welche uns zahlreiche Informationen zu den Klöstern und deren Geschichte geben konnte. Sie selbst ist in der Zone aufgewachsen und hat die Materie auch studiert, verfügt somit über sehr viel Hintergrundwissen.
