The Meteora is a rock formation in central Greece hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries,second in importance only to Mount Athos. Dress code is important when visiting the Monasteries at Meteora: women have to cover their shoulders and wear a long shirt, men cannot wear shorts. At the entrance of every monastery skirts and long scarves are available for free;
Thermopylae (Thermopiles) is world-famous for the battle where 300 Spartans, led by King Leonidas, made their famous stand against the Persian invaders in August 480 BC. We will visit, the Innovative Centre of Historical Information, established to preserve the memory of the historic battle and explain the details of this conflict.
Kamena Vourla is a picturesque town on the coast and it's located south of the archaeological site of Thermopylae right next to the motorway for Athens. A very nice stop for an afternoon coffee or tea before reaching the city of Athens.
Took a day to meteora . Comfortable vehicle , a safe & careful driver. The scenery is unique, the monasteries fascinating. My guide/ driver, Fotis, was knowledgeable, and charming. His local expertise allowed me to make the most of the day. Strongly recommended
Our guide was very knowledgeable about history, and we enjoyed him very much. He was very attentive and respectful.
Our tour to Meteora with Petros was one of the highlights of our time in Athens. This is an amazing place and a must do. The countryside of Greece is so very different from Athens even the drive was beautiful. Petros is an experienced and professional driver; he filled our drive with interesting, insightful and peaceful conversation but was also sensitive to give us rest and quiet when needed. With Petros as our driver it was not necessary to have a guide to take us into the monasteries. He even shared several recipes with me after we returned. I will definitely book with Athens Premier Tours and Transfers on future trips to Athens and I will be looking for Petros. This is a must do!l and a great value both in terms of money and time. Efkaristo Athens Premier Tours and Transfers and Petros!
very beautiful and amazing places , like another planet , petros is very helpful, kind and very patient, very recomended to go with this tour.
Meteora is one of those phenomenal places that one must see if in the area, and it did not disappoint. Our driver was excellent and did his utmost to ensure we had an enriching and enjoyable time there, taking us to the monasteries and stopping for photos. It was a memorable day.
Amazing tour. The pictures are are not even close to the actual view. It was worth it. Our driver, Yannis, was wonderful. The day started with him picking us up in a luxury vehicle at our Airbnb and it ended with h dropping us off at the same location. He had a lot of information about what we went to see. The ride to the location was beautiful. I loved this experience. Worth the money.
Our guide, Vasilis, was exceptionally accommodating, informative, and was key to making for a fantastic day. Super memorable day!!!!
The whole experience was very memorable starting with the drive, the three monasteries we visited, the beautiful mountain/rock formation culminating with a seaside late afternoon seafood dinner. Our driver was great, very knowledgeable on Greek culture and history, made the drive very enjoyable.
The driver was super --very friendly, informative and talkative. We learned a lot from him not only about Meteora but about Greece in general. The weather was delightfully breezy and cool up in those mountains while Athens was sizzleing hot!
The private tour was the highlight of my family's trip and I can't recommend it enough. Meteora speaks for itself, but the warm and confidential care of our guide was what really made it an unforgettable experience. If you can, ask for Vasilios, whose knowledge as to the rich drama of Greek history gave life to every site, and whose boundless hospitality and good humor put us immediately at ease from the beginning until, at the end, it felt as if we had made a dear friend.
Getting to see the battlefield of Thermopylae upon which the entire course of Western Civilization depends
