This tour will take you on a late afternoon visit to discover the hidden gems of this place. Allow the locals to guide you through the winding, narrow roads of Meteora to places away from the beaten tourist paths.
The private sunset tour begins with a visit to one of the 6 active monasteries of Meteora. We will guide you to the oldest standing monument of our place, the Byzantine church of the Virgin Mary located in the old town of Kalambaka. A church made in the early Christian period with ancient marbles embedded on its walls, telling of the town’s long history. The Meteora private Sunset tour includes a visit to the spectacular hermitages of Bandavas.
And as the sun slowly descends, getting ready to touch the mountain ridges, we’ll bring you high up on the rocks of Meteora, on a magical spot to enjoy the most captivating sunset views. Sitting on the edges of the Meteora cliffs, feel the evening breeze. Allow your senses to explore, moment by moment, the dimming of the light as the sun sinks behind the mountains. A perfect way to conclude a beautiful day at Meteora with an awe-inspiring tour to be remembered forever!

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.
