The first time we have used Headout to book a tour and very pleased with the seamless , professional service. The morning Meteora tour was perfect. Our guide and driver were great fun and ran the tour very efficiently, allowing us to visit the monasteries that were open that day and stop at viewpoints for photos. We particularly appreciated the way the itinerary was organised to minimise having to walk uphill! Very comfortable, executive-style transport with bottled water provided as needed. Would highly recommend if planning to visit.

Ditch the crowds and enjoy a more personal Meteora experience with a small-group tour (max 19), complete with hotel pickup, round-trip transfers in a VIP Mercedes minibus, and flexible touring options.

Choose between a half-day sightseeing tour with access to up to 3 monasteries and in-depth storytelling, or a sunset tour that includes 1 monastery, the Byzantine Church of the Virgin Mary, and ends with a golden-hour photo stop.

An English-speaking local guide will share tales of monks who hauled themselves up in rope baskets, the secrets of the 1000-year-old Byzantine Church of the Virgin Mary, and how Meteora became a place of refuge during invasions and empires.

Take in the quiet beauty of Agios Stefanos, with its floral courtyard and active nunnery, or explore the vertical wonder of St. Nicholas Anapausas, famed for its 16th-century frescoes and soul-stirring mountain views.

Did you know? The tiny chapel inside St. Nicholas Anapausas Monastery was painted in just one month by a single monk-artist, Theophanes the Cretan. His vivid 16th-century frescoes still cover the walls today.

La guida , in inglese, ha raccontato e descritto molto bene il complesso Meteore. Il percorso che include la vista del tramonto è' interessante , l'unica pecca è che è una zona presa d'assalto dai turisti e quindi te la godi un po' meno ....immerso tra la gente! Sì riescono a visitare un o 2 monasteri e una chiesa. Ben organizzata!

Hicimos el tour con Maria (guia) y George ( conductor), ambos grandes profesionales que nos dieron todo tipo de detalles sobre lo que estabamos viendo, predispuestos a responder cualquier duda y cumpliendo sobradamente con las expectativas que pudieramos tener. altamente recomendable.

What to bring

Bring some cash for entrance offerings (€3 to €5 per monastery) and any purchases, as credit card facilities may not be available.

Opt for sturdy shoes with good grip, as paths can be uneven and include many steps.

Carry water and light snacks, especially during warmer months (June to August).

Don’t forget to bring your own earphones and a fully charged phone to listen to the audio guides comfortably.

What's not allowed

While outdoor photography is generally permitted, refrain from taking photos inside churches and of monks or nuns unless explicitly allowed.

Flying drones is prohibited without special permission due to privacy concerns and wildlife protection.

Accessibility

Meteora is not wheelchair accessible. All monasteries involve steps or inclined paths.

If you have mobility constraints, consider visiting monasteries like St. Stephen’s, which has a paved path and minimal stairs.

Additional information

Your guide will pick you up directly from your accommodation in Kalabaka or Kastraki Village.

Expect to enter between 2 to 4 monasteries during your visit. Each has a fixed weekly closing day (Great Meteoron is closed on Tuesdays, Varlaam on Fridays), so the exact lineup may vary depending on when you go.

All monasteries require a €3 to €5 offering per person, payable in cash at the gate.

Tour guides are not allowed inside the monasteries. To continue exploring while inside, take advantage of the multilingual audio guides.

Tours use minibuses or local shuttles to transport visitors between sites.

Basic toilets are available at larger monasteries (Great Meteoron, Varlaam, St. Stephen) and may require a small tip.

The Meteora monasteries follow a strict dress code. Men must wear long pants; women need long skirts and shoulder coverage. Sleeveless tops and shorts are not allowed.

Your voucher will be mailed to you instantly.

Please arrive at the pick-up point 15 minutes before the scheduled time of your tour to avoid any delays. Bring a valid photo ID proof for verification.

Hotel Transfers

The ticket includes pick-up and drop-off from your hotel in Kalabaka or Kastraki.

In the next step of booking, please specify the name and address of your hotel.

On the day of your tour, please report at your hotel lobby or entrance 10-15 min prior to your scheduled departure.
