Meteora - Full Day Tour from Trikala or Kalabaka

The tour will start from the city of Trikala, one of the oldest cities in Greece where Asclepius the ancient Greek god of Medicine was born. 20 km from Meteora it is run by river Lithaios, it is rich in culinary tradition and hidden gems. On this city tour, you do not need a vehicle, since the city is flat and easy to walk. Before the old neighborhood of Trikala, we are going to enjoy a 360 view of the Thesssalian plain from the highest spot of the city. It is adorned with many old churches, a synagogue, and a mosque next to the Ottoman twin bath, where the Greek Papillon was once imprisoned. Prison life inspired Tsitsanis one of the most prominent rebetiko composers born in Trikala to write classic rebetiko songs connecting Trikala to this worldwide known music genre. When the monasteries empty from visitors it's the right moment to pay a visit and decipher what is hidden behind the monastic life. In any case I can customize this tour according to your requests.
