Upon arrival in Kalabaka, an expert English-speaking local tour leader will be waiting to guide you through the ethereal landscape of Meteora. You'll have ample time to see all 6 monasteries and explore 3 of them, each offering breathtaking views.
The tour concludes at Kalabaka's railway station, where you'll begin your return journey to Athens, reflecting on the day’s wonders.
