Meteora's towering rock pillars rise to close to 2,000 feet; here, many centuries ago, one of Greece's most important monastic communities was formed. On this tour you will see the whole Meteora area and all six Holy Monasteries, with the chance to visit inside three of them.
Your guide will share a wide range of information about the monasteries and help you visualise why and how the first monks managed to establish such a large community atop these unique rocks. Along the way there will be plenty of stops at the best viewpoints and short walks, during which the guide will explain the geological phenomena that led to the formation of the impressive rock pillars. The panoramic views offer excellent opportunities for photographs and for taking in the landscape from different angles.
