    • A professional guide will share how monks carved staircases into sheer cliffs, how nuns preserve ancient rituals, and the hidden meanings behind frescoes painted during Ottoman rule.
    • Depending on the day, explore Great Meteoron, with its fresco-lined dining hall and relic-filled ossuary, or Varlaam, known for its ornate domed chapels and a 12,000-litre rain barrel suspended high above the valley floor.
    • Follow a short trail to reach the weather-worn Hermit Caves, where monks once lived in complete isolation, hoisting up supplies with ropes and ladders that still dangle hauntingly above the entrances.
    • Did you know? At Great Meteoron Monastery, a monk named Father Theophilos spent over a decade reviving 15th-century frescoes using natural pigments made from crushed stone and local plants.

    Det var en utmärkt upplevelse, med en varaktighet på 4 timmar och 30 minuter i Meteora. full av information, många stopp för de vackraste utsikten. Som ortodox kristen hade jag också en andlig upplevelse. Vi hade en mycket bra, passionerad och hjälpsam guide, Clement, och en utmärkt förare, Nikos Tack ska ni ha, Claudia och Olga, Rumänien

    Vår resa till Meteora var helt magnifik. Vi fick inte bara besöka en plats på UNESCO:s världsarvslista, utan vi fick också fördjupa oss i grekisk historia. Det är ett bevis på det grekiska folkets motståndskraft, som alltid har försvarat sin kultur och sitt arv. Det är en verklig oas av frid, och eremiterna gjorde helt rätt som valde att förlägga sina kloster här. Landskapet är hisnande och klostren... Ord kan inte beskriva deras skönhet, både exteriört och interiört, när det gäller arkitektur, målningar och museer. Jag vill rikta ett varmt tack till vår guide Maria och busschauffören Chris (de får ursäkta att jag inte kommer ihåg den grekiska formen av deras förnamn). Underhållningen levde upp till våra förväntningar och stämningen var mer än vänlig.
  • What to bring

    • Bring cash for monastery offerings (€3 to €5 per site) and any small purchases.
    • Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes with a good grip. Trails and monastery steps can be uneven and steep.
    • Carry water and a light snack, especially during the summer months (June to August).
    • Don’t forget earphones and a fully charged smartphone if you plan to use the audio guide during your visit.

    What's not allowed

    • Photography is welcome in outdoor areas, but taking pictures inside churches, or of monks and nuns, is not permitted.
    • Drone use is strictly forbidden unless you have special permission.

    Accessibility

    • Most of Meteora’s sites are not wheelchair-friendly, as all monasteries involve climbing stairs or navigating inclined paths.
    • For visitors with limited mobility, St. Stephen’s Monastery offers the easiest access, with a level, paved path and minimal steps.

    Additional information

    • Exit Larissa station and head straight across the street. You'll find your 'Visit Meteora' bus parked on Theodore Diligianni Street, right outside Everest Café.
    • Depending on the day, you’ll enter 2 to 4 monasteries. Each monastery has one designated closing day per week (Great Meteoron is closed Tuesdays, and Varlaam is closed Fridays), so the tour route may vary.
    • Monastery offerings (€3 to €5 per person) are not typically included in tour prices and must be paid in cash at the gate.
    • A modest dress code is strictly enforced at all monasteries. Men should wear long pants, while women must wear long skirts and cover their shoulders. Wrap skirts and shawls are available at the entrance if needed.
    • Tours use local minibuses or shuttle vans for transportation between stops. Roads can be winding, but distances are short.
    • Toilets are available at larger monasteries like Great Meteoron, Varlaam, and St. Stephen’s. A small tip is often expected when using them.
    • Guides are not permitted to offer commentary inside the monasteries. Enhance your visit with the multi-language audio guide.
    • Your voucher will be emailed to you instantly.

    • Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the meeting point.

    • Please arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the scheduled time of your tour to avoid any delays.
