They do not overlap. The half-day sightseeing tour covers morning views and monasteries, distinct from the Sunset Tour.
The tour lasts about 4 hours in total.
The tour departs at 09:00 am, with pick-up from hotels, Airbnbs or guesthouses in Kalambaka or Kastraki.
You will see all six monasteries from the outside and enter three of them (subject to opening hours).
We have split our tours into morning and afternoon ones. Furthermore, all our tours visit different places in Meteora. This way, you can combine any morning tour with any afternoon tour you wish! A classic combination is the Meteora Hiking Tour in the morning and the Meteora Sunset Tour in the afternoon.
You can make a booking with us literally at the last minute! Just keep in mind that there may be no seats left on the tour if you do that! We recommend booking at least one week in advance, in order to have the best chances of finding availability.
All our bus tours run regardless of weather. If we are forced to cancel an activity because of extreme weather conditions, you have the option to change date or switch activity or cancel and receive a refund.
First of all, keep in mind that, since every monastery closes on some days of the week, we do not visit the same monasteries every day. The monasteries we usually visit though are the following:
Trikala is a city about 21km away from Kalampaka. Because of that, we do not offer pick up from there. You can catch the local bus to Kalampaka, which runs regularly and come by our offices here to start the tour.
We pick up clients from AirBNBs on our tours. If you are staying in one then please also include your phone number on your booking details in order for us to be able to reach you.
