This tour is designed for the visitor who wants to visit Meteora away from the crowds in a private guided tour. The first segment of the tour takes you on a 90 miles tour throughout the Thessalian flatland. The second segment takes place in Meteora. We will pass through the rocky cliffs and watch the Christian monasteries on top. Believe me the view is breathtaking! Feel the breeze and hear the bells of the communities. The monasteries are still active and six in total. We will choose them based on their opening days and hours. During the tour I will tell you about the history of the site, the geological phenomenon, Christian Orthodox Religion and the meanings-symbols behind the decoration and wall paintings of the central church. We will see the nuns and monks doing their everyday jobs, praying and welcoming the visitors. Keep in mind your group will not join others! It's a private tour guided by me. I am a licensed Tour guide, so I will be with you inside and outside the monasteries!
8am - 10. 15am: we start early morning from Volos. The drive to Meteora lasts approximately 2 hours with a short stop for coffee and restroom. 10. 15am - 13. 00: in Meteora we visit 2 or 3 monasteries depending on your needs, fitness and traffic. Time for shopping and photos. 13. 00 - 14. 00: before our return we will go to Kalambaka town and have a coffee or lunch break. 14. 00 - 16. 15: back to Volos (we can do a driving tour if we have the time). Please note: 1. Each monastery follows its own time schedule. 2. You must follow the dress code: women have to keep covered their shoulders and wear skirts above their pants or wear a long dress/skirt. I always recommend to carry your own skirt or cover-up. As for men, they have to wear long pants. The entrance is forbidden to those who don't follow the dress code. 3. During winter it may be snowing.
