About this experience

Our Meteora Tour takes you beyond the surface, combining breathtaking natural beauty with centuries of faith, art, and tradition. Rising dramatically above the plains of Thessaly, Meteora’s ancient monasteries balance atop towering rock pillars — a sight that words can hardly capture.

Learn how monks once climbed ropes and ladders to reach their sky-high sanctuaries, and visit active monasteries that continue this centuries-old spiritual legacy.

As the largest archaeological site in Greece by area, Meteora is both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an official holy place of Greece — but with us, it’s far more than a list of monuments. It’s a serene, inspiring journey that connects you to Greece’s soul, history, and heart.

Relax, take in the views, capture the magic — and let us handle every detail so you can experience Meteora the best way possible.
