Meteora - 2 Days By Train From Thessaloniki - Including 2 Guided Meteora Tours - Daily

Simply out of this world. Incredibly beautiful place and great insights provided by the team, taking us to the best places for the most awesome views.

Family with two kids from Netherlands. Meteora is a great sight and with two tours we visited the important monasteries and the sightseeing spots. What stood out was the people in the organization, as to how helpful they are. When we left a bag in the tour bus just before our departure they went out of their way to help us get it back immediately so that we sid bot muss our ride.

So I had Olivia on my tour and she was just so down to earth. I loved her. We're both teachers so I just really appreciated her speaking voice and I know we had a lot to cover so I just appreciated the entire tour. Meteora is a very highly visited place but I felt good about my decision to go with this tour. Everyone had a good time! Just a warning, there will be crowds. If you're claustrophobic, you should probably skip this one. Otherwise, go for it.

great!!!i loved it !surely i recommend it, our tour was very well organised and our tour guide maria very kind and nice, go for it alkisti -menelaos

Meteora is amazing. Both the guides are very good & knowledgeable & tell us details of Meteora. The bus ride from Athens & transfer was smooth only that we have to load our luggages to the buses. The 3 star hotel was also very clean & good plus the breakfast was a bonus too

The monasteries on the top of Meteora were amazing. The natural beauty of the rock formations was breathtaking. The sunset tour was fantastic. The tour staff on both days were fabulous. Hotel Kaikis was good, especially the breakfast.

Great agency to work with, they are very responsive and accommodating. The tour guide are friendly, knowledgeable and funny. I did the 2 day tour with a 4.5 hr sunset tour and the morning tour with the hike. It's an easy mostly downhill hike, with hidden places, spots you can get to only on your feet. The hotel was great too with delicious breakfast that had plenty of vegan options. Staff was friendly.

The two guides Photini and especially Nancy and also the driver Nikos were excellent. They even managed to avoid the heavy crowds.

Was a perfect tour, the cuides and te driver was very good!!! We go to lots of monasterios and the view was perfect Stacy, Dimitri and Chris Thanks!!!!!

Meteora advised that train travel was not possible so we went by public bus which was bearable but then learnt that the trains were ok. So this was a mix up. The tours and hotel were good.

I rarely enjoy guided tours because they rush you and prevent you from enjoying the attractions that maybe, you will only see once in your life. I took it because I was travelling alone for work and I badly wanted to see Meteora. it's the second most visited place in Greece. This tour was a rare exception; I am very surprised. You get an afternoon tour that makes plenty of stops, gives you plenty of time in each spot, lets you visit 1 monastery (accessible) and waits for you to enjoy the sunset on a rock. Yes, the rock is crowded... The following day you get a general tour of another 4 monasteries. Be prepared to climb many stairs and slopes. In each one of them you get about an hour; not a lot but enough for most people. the guides were good, quite knowledgeable and friendly. In the afternoon tour the owner of the company insisted on using a big bus that doesn't really fit in these medieval streets and we wasted a lot of time, but well, he is the owner. Other arrangements. At the moment it is not possible to travel by train. It has to be done by coach. You get the usual cranky driver, but the buses are comfortable, reliable, and on time. The local part (Trikala to Kalambaka) it's a regular bus. Instructions are quite clear, it's not difficult to make it. the agency has arranged it perfectly. The 3* hotel is ok for one night; all furniture worn but functional, clean and with great views from the balcony. there are many places to eat in the village with good food and friendly service. I recommend this excursion a lot

Meteora is amazing. Tour was poorly organised and delivered. First ‘guide’ told us wrong time for later pick up so no-one was ready and was then very rushed to get ready. No wi-fi, no map, no information on where we were going until we got there. Hotel very old fashioned. Next morning, no time for breakfast/very rushed. Spent over an hour on bus picking up other people before tour started. Waste of time. Again no information on where we were going, no map, no wi-fi. Guide poor. Much of the tour duplicated from previous evening. English very heavily accented so difficult to understand. Commentary formulaic and a repeat of previous day. Dropped back c 1pm in Kalabaka. Far too long to wait for train. Nothing to do and Museums shut from 3pm. Tour should have started later so time for breakfast and arrived back later. Perhaps 2 hours later. Then would be time for lunch and not do long to wait for train. Left to find own way to station.

Amazing and Unforgettable experience. Hotel Aleixou chosen was also amazing. The guides were amazing, funny and knowledgeable making the trip a pleasure one. Grateful!

The trip was made by bus and not by train due to some problem in the rail network. None of this changed the logistics. I was in Thessalonica and left the city's own bus station, already with the road tickets. When you stop at a highway stop, take the bus to the final destination, where there is an agency guide waiting for the tourist. The gear works well, just can't miss the bus schedule. Back the same thing. A 4 hour drive. I do not recommend in any case to do hit / back on the same day. Besides exhausting, it is not possible to visit well the beautiful monasteries and enjoy the region that is indescribable. You're gonna be frustrated. Basic sleep, rest. At least 2 days to enjoy a distant and charming place. You can also reach from Athenas

We planned to run a railway to Kalambaka, but the construction work meant that there were fewer trains, so they arranged a bus as an alternative. We arrived in about four hours from Thessaloniki. It was mid-November, but Meteora was comfortable with the weather and lots of tourists, but not enough to stop sightseeing. The showers at the three-star hotel were small and cramped.

Meteora is an amazing experience. On site we had knowledgeable guides and professional drivers. But the transfer from Thessaloniki to Meteora was a terrible experience. We booked a trip with 3 hours train ride. 4 days before the trip (when it is difficult to find alternatives) we were contacted by the organizer who announced that due to storms it was not possible to travel by train all the way. Instead, the journey time was just over 6 hours in each direction, including a 2-hour wait at a hot and almost deserted station for a change to bus. There was no information about this at the time of booking, although this was known to the organisers for over 1 year. Had we known when we booked, we would have chosen a different travel option. I understand that the organizers deliberately withheld important information about the conditions of the trip at the time of booking in order not to scare away customers.

The tour had to be canceled at the last moment - and unfortunately after my departure from Thessaloniki towards Kalambaka - due to Cyclone Daniel which hit central Greece hard (7 September). The Agency, after due clarifications and apologies, immediately refunded the amount I paid. I hope to have the opportunity to visit Meteora in the near future and in this case I will certainly turn to Meteora Thrones.
