Then we drive up to the monasteries and visit the Great Meteoron Monastery (entrance fees not included in the price). Duration of visit: 1 hour.
From the early Christian times, the Meteora vertical cliffs were regarded as the perfect place to achieve absolute isolation, to discover peace and harmony and, thus, to support man’s eternal struggle for spiritual elevation.

Stop 2

Meteora is a truly inspiring and sensational setting of overwhelming rock formations, but one must also be prepared to expect that this trip is much more than merely visiting an exquisite landscape. It is a pilgrimage to a holy place for all Christians around the world. Meteora has become a preservation ark for the 2000-year-old Christian Orthodox creed.
After our visit, we drive to the city of Kalambaka where we have 2 hours free time to explore the town or have lunch (not included in the price).
