Frequently asked questions
Is there a dress code to enter a monastery?
Appropriate clothing for everyone is required to enter the monasteries. Sleeveless clothing and shorts over the knee for men are prohibited and you‘ll be denied access if dressed that way. For ladies skirts and shawls are available to borrow or buy at the entrance of monasteries in case they don’t have such clothing to cover themselves.
How many stairs for each monastery?
The Monastery of the Holy Trinity and Great Meteoro are the less accessible (over 300 steps). Rousanou, Varlaam and Saint Nicolaos have an average number of 140. Some of the monasteries apart the staircases requires uphill walking in paved paths. The Holy Monastery of St Stephen is connected with a walking bridge, thus making it more accessible than any other monastery.
What if it rains?
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.
Can I bring my luggage inside your bus?

Meteora Between Trains
I did the "Meteora train2train tour". It is the same as the full day tours from Athens or Thessaloniki, but leaving railroad ticketing to the customer; perfect for me coming from Thessaloniki but heading for Athens.
The group was comfortably small, 9 passengers, guide and driver. Our visits to the two monasteries were unhurried, a third could probably have been included if it was not for the closing times. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and informative (he was initially trained as a guide in the Army). All in all a worthwhile experience.
Probably no better way to enjoy Meteora
Vassili on the mic and Kostas on the wheel took us to a formidable four hour trip in and around Meteora, its history, its monasteries, its geography, its nature, its architecture and its religion. If the place itself is beyond words, visiting it with this guys made for an unforgettable experience. Not to be missed.
Probably no better way to enjoy Meteora in short time between the trains
It was a little bit of a "last minute" decision, we initially thought of doing it in a little different manner, but it all turned out great. All the vouchers were immediately sent upon payment, with exact information "where to go, when to go", we were met at the Kalambaka train station by Vassilis (I hope I didn't misspell his name), who turned out to be a real gold mine in terms of history knowledge for the area and more. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good value travel agency!!
.Great tour of Meteora with our guide Maria. The organization is excellent and allows you to see everything with the visit of 3 monasteries. Many stops at the best spots allow you to take excellent photos.
The very comfortable minibus and guide are waiting at Kalambaka station with a sign with our name on it.
I took the Meteora train to train tour.
