Enjoy a private trip by luxury car or minivan to Meteora, the UNESCO world heritage listed monasteries. Meteora means "middle of the sky", and with their exalted heights and almost mystical inaccessibility, the Metéora monasteries seem to soar towards heaven and reflect the human striving for holiness. After the fascinating tour of the 3 most accessible monasteries, you can enjoy a delightful lunch with Greek traditional dishes and “Mezedes” in the picturesque Kastraki village. On your way back to Athens, stop at Thermopylae, where one of most epic battles of all times took place. 300 Spartans faced the Persian army and stopped them for 2 days. See the battlefield and the statue of King Leonidas.

Our driver communicated clearly with us, was on time, courteous and conscientious.
The sights themselves are spectacular. Be prepared for a ridiculous amount of people/tourists.
Meteora private tour

Our driver and guide George is very helpful and is willing to give us lots of information about Meteora and some other things about Greece and Athens. He is very courteous and helpful and passionate about his job. A great and safe driver by the way because this is a very long trip . We started at 7:30am pick up from our hotel and was drop off at 10:30pm at our hotel. We took our time to tour the monasteries in Meteora at our own pace. My mom needed some ointment for her dry skin . George was kind enough to have a quick stop and also help explained to the pharmacist what my mom needed. We definitely recommend this Great Trip with Viator. Btw, The food stop for lunch also offered excellent food . Thank you very much .

Mr George, our guide is very punctual and waited for my family patiently at the hotel. He drives very safely and checks with us from time to time if we need toilet breaks given the drive is 4 hours. Very knowledgeable and brought us to the strategic spots where we can take all the beautiful pictures.
Family enjoyed the trip to Meteora. Highly recommended to go with Crispylocal.
