Overview

Explore the centuries-old monasteries built into massive rocks known as Meteora with this half-day private driving tour together with a local guide. Reaching heights close to 2,000 feet (600 meters), Meteora is one of Greece's most important monastic communities. Your local guide will take you through this UNESCO World Heritage Site and explain its geological, cultural, and historical significance.

Home to some of the oldest monasteries in Greece, Meteora rises out of imposing rock formations created 60 million years ago, generating an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility. Enjoy the tour of the 9th-century monastic life, almost completely unaffected by modern times! You'll visit all six monasteries and enter three of them.
