On arrival at Meteora your time is your own to explore at your own pace. If you have selected the option with a guide, your expert guide will lead the way while telling you the history and stories of this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage site.
There are 6 active Eastern Orthodox monasteries which you may visit. The monasteries at Meteora date as far back as the 11th-century, and you will wonder how such a feat of engineering was achieved. The largest and most visited is the stunning Great Meteoron Monastery, founded in 1356.
Another popular site is the Monastery of the Holy Trinity, visually dramatic and seen in the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only". There is also a museum, beautiful frescos and a variety of religious icons and books to be discovered.
