Highlights
This wonder of nature would be worth visiting just for the picturesque landscape even if the monasteries weren't there. The thing is that they are. The old Greek Monasteries blend in perfectly with the surrounding environment creating a once in a lifetime sensation. It is my most popular tour(more than 100 times a year)and there is a good reason for that. During the ride I will explain a lot about geology,history, orthodox religion,and the impact Meteora has had on Greece over the centuries.We will also talk about Greece and the Greek way of life. Since I've been doing this for so many years, I know the best traditional local restaurants, I know where are the best stops, where to go, we will visit the spots that are "off the map" for the majority of tourists, for you to take the best photos that you would otherwise miss, and to give you an unforgettable experience. The tour is fully customizable and can be tailored in your needs. Most travelers usually visit 2 or even 3 monasteries.

Itinerary
We pick you up! We have an almost 100-minute ride till we get to Meteora an optional short stop at a local icon workshop (10-20mins) Agios Stefanos is the one that has the easiest access Great Meteoron is the biggest of them all, (400 steps are involved) Roussanou Nunnery and Agios Nikolaos Anapafsas monasteries are small monasteries, both outstanding choices. Varlaam Monastery (closed on Thursdays and Fridays) is the one with the best view Of course, all of the open monasteries are good choices. Many people prefer not to take all those monastery steps (100-400 depending on the monastery) if that's the case we spend more time taking photos. So you can always decide on the spot what suits you best. Most people visit 2 monasteries, but if you decide to visit more it is not a problem for us. The scenery is outstanding and till now for every passenger, we've transferred an experience of a lifetime. optional: lunch or dinner at a traditional local restaurant

About Volos
Volos is a port city on the Pagasetic Gulf in central Greece, the legendary start of the Argonauts' voyage and the gateway to the villages of Mount Pelion.
Volos sits at the head of the Pagasetic Gulf in Thessaly, with the wooded slopes of Mount Pelion rising behind. In Greek myth, Jason and the Argonauts set sail from ancient Iolcos, near the modern city, in search of the Golden Fleece. A seafront promenade lined with cafés, fishing boats and old warehouses runs along the harbour.
