In this unique tour which combines a cultural and hiking experience, you will have the opportunity to discover Meteora's history, art and architecture by visiting either the monastery of Saint Stephens or of The Holy Trinity, as well as the once in a lifetime experience to follow the centuries old footsteps of the first monks that did the trails that connect Meteora to the town of Kalambaka. Along the route, we will be making stops for pictures in striking panoramic hidden spots that only locals like myself know of. We'll also explore mostly unseen trails that are only reachable by hikers. You will enjoy the wonderful landscape, UNESCO World Heritage Site marvel accompanied by me, a knowledgeable and qualified licensed guide from the College of Religious Tourism. I also have studies in medieval painting and I'm a School of Fine Arts graduate as well, so I'll be uniquely able to provide commentary on the frescoes that we'll see inside the monastery's chapel.
