In evidenza

We visit the famous Meteora monasteries from Athens. A great long trip and a long day but worth the visit! Meteora ("suspended in the air") was the hiding spot for the monks from the Romans. We explore two (or 3) amazing monasteries depending on your fitness and timing. We drive around the Meteora maze finding different spots to take photos and enjoy the amazing views. Then, you head for a great (included) lunch & drinks under the guidance of your tour leader. No fixed menu! Authentic Greek food, location, and people; away from the tourist traps. On the way back to Athens, we also stop to stretch at the battlefield of Thermopylae and the famous 300 of King Leonidas of Sparta. A totally private tour! No strangers in the same car, so totally flexible to your needs! It's a long long day starting from 7:30 am to be back at your hotel around 8:00 pm or even later. Any other way to visit Meteora, such as train or bus will simply mean a lot more traveling time and less amazing Meteora!

Itinerario

  1. Meteora is one of the most impressive and peculiar geological formations in the whole world. A place of unsurpassed natural beauty, where divine creation met human intervention. We shall be visiting two (or three) of the monasteries that are open on a specific day. The gigantic rocks of Meteora dominate imposingly over Kalampaka town. This masterpiece of nature reveals all its glory for centuries as a unique geological phenomenon in beauty and an important monument of Orthodoxy.

    1 h

  2. The Great Meteoron Monastery, built on an imposing rock, is the oldest, the biggest, and the most important among the monasteries of Meteora which are preserved today.

    1 h

  3. In 1350 a daring ascetic named Varlaam ascended to the rock. The monastery was named after him. He built three churches, a small cell and a water tank. After his death the rock remained abandoned for about 200 years until 1517 when the two priest-monks Theophanes and Nektarios Apsarades started to construct the first buildings from the beginning.

    45 min

  4. Probably the most photographed monastery. According to historical sources Holy Trinity must have been built between 1458 and 1476.

    1 h

  5. We take a break at the Thermopylae battlefield location with King Leonidas statue. The Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas of Sparta, and the Persian Empire of Xerxes I over the course of three days, in 480 BC.

    30 min

  6. Back to Athens around 7:30 pm.

About Atene

Atene pone l'Acropoli sopra una capitale moderna ed estesa, dove rovine antiche, vicoli in pendio e lunghe serate in taverna convivono.

Il Partenone corona l'Acropoli, affiancato dall'Eretteo con il suo portico delle cariatidi, e il Museo dell'Acropoli ai piedi della collina espone le sculture trovate sulla rocca. Intorno, l'Agorà antica, il Tempio di Zeus Olimpio, l'Arco di Adriano e lo stadio Panatenaico di marmo rendono facile percorrere a piedi la città classica.

Top-ranked sights in Atene: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
