Meteora buggy tour – Guided Morning Off-Road Sarari Ride

Start your day with an adrenaline-filled adventure in one of Greece’s most iconic landscapes. After meeting your guide at our base in Kastraki, you’ll receive a short but detailed safety briefing and get equipped with your helmet and protective gear. Once everyone is comfortable with the buggy controls, it’s time to hit the trail.

Meteora morning tour buggy

The tour begins with a climb to Marmaro viewpoint, where you’ll enjoy your first panoramic views over Kastraki and the towering rock pillars of Meteora – the perfect introduction to the UNESCO Global Geopark you’re about to explore. From there, you’ll pass through the old preserved settlement of Kastraki, winding between traditional houses and old lanes that most visitors never see.

Leaving the village behind, the real off-road adventure begins. You’ll follow your guide along rocky paths and dirt tracks, drive through lush oak and plane tree forests, and cross small streams as the trail leads you into a wildlife refuge. Here, the landscape feels remote and untouched. The area is home to bears, wolves, foxes, wild boar, roe deer, as well as migratory birds such as black storks and the Egyptian vulture, plus various birds of prey circling overhead. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, but just driving through their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience.

Along the way you’ll stop at scenic points like Nifitsa, where you can stretch your legs, enjoy the silence of the forest and capture the views with your camera. Deeper inside the Geopark, the route reveals one of Meteora’s best-kept secrets: hidden, inactive cave monasteries such as Agios Theodosios and Agios Nikolaos Gavrou, carved into the cliffs and once used by hermit monks seeking complete isolation. You’ll also pass the small Gavros and Skepareio ponds, which add a softer, reflective touch to the rugged terrain.

The last part of the tour takes you up to Vlachava village, a natural balcony over the valley of Meteora and the Pindus mountain range. It’s an ideal final stop for photos before you follow your guide back to the base.
