01 / About the trip

Monasteries above the valley, lunch down in town

Meteora’s monasteries stand on the rock pillars above Kalampaka. Choose the ones you’d like to visit and leave some time for the viewpoints along the road.

The drive from Thessaloniki takes up a fair part of the day, so we’ll work out the departure time and breaks with you. Want lunch in Kalampaka or a walk in Kastraki? We can allow for that when planning. Monastery opening hours and how much walking your group can manage also shape the route.

  • Viewpoints and photo stops
  • Monastery visits agreed in advance
  • Time in Kalampaka or Kastraki
  • Pickup and return in Thessaloniki
