A fantastic place—definitely worth a visit! It’s definitely hot and there’s not much shade, but luckily it was early in the morning, so there weren’t many people and there was no line at the entrance. The museum is also worth a visit.

Great guide in Clement. The trip was well organised with plenty of stop overs. The sights of Meteora were amazing. However, probably best to start tour at 7am to beat the summer heat. Bring a few bottles of water during summer. Bus driver John was great, got home safely.

It wasn't obvious that this wasn't a counterfeit ticket but the admission ticket to the Acropolis. The museum ticket was easy to spot. Both are definitely worth it. Go early in the morning because it gets very, very hot at the site in the summer, and there's no shade.
