Enjoy a picturesque train journey through the beautiful Greek countryside. Around 11:30 am, the train arrives at the Kalambaka station, where our driver will be waiting for you with a sign with your name to transfer you to your hotel.

In the afternoon, we will pick you up to begin your sunset tour, visiting one of the 6 active monasteries of Meteora, Agios Stefanos or Roussanou. Then we will guide you to the oldest standing monument of the place, the Byzantine church of the Virgin Mary located in the old town of Kalambaka.

Then we will visit the ancient hermitages of Badovas, learn the stories and legends and enjoy excellent views from the most panoramic places. As the sun begins to slowly descend, preparing to touch the mountain ridges, we will take you to the top of the Meteora rocks, in a magical place to enjoy the most captivating sunset views. Up there, sitting on the edges of the cliffs, you will feel the night breeze blowing on these cliffs. Let your senses explore moment by moment the attenuation of light as the sun disk sinks behind the mountains. This will be a perfect way to end a beautiful day in Meteora. After sunset, return to the accommodation.

Free day to enjoy this magnificent city. Thessaloniki is the largest city in northern Greece and the second biggest one in the country.

Famous for its history, the dazzling shops, and vibrant nightlife.

This was one of the most important cultural centers in the Byzantine era and one of the most multicultural cities in modern Greek history. We recommend taking the boat ride in the Thermaic gulf which gives you a greater panoramic view of the city itself. 

At the appointed time, one of our vehicles will drive you to the airport, port or train station in order for you to say goodbye to the city (if we want to stay more days we can always add nights in step 1 of 3 at the time of making our reservation).

We hope to see you again soon to create some wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory. Good trip! Or as Greeks say: "Kaló taksídi!"
