    Traveled with family


    It was very difficult to find the right coach. I used the instructions given but our names were on a different list so we were put on another bus and this turned out to be the wrong one. This meant our whole trip was out of step. We had booked correctly but our information had not been correctly transferred so we didn't have lunch and were with the wrong language group.

    5 hour drive (one way) is totally worth the Meteora visit!The history of monk life, spectacular views, stunning nature-a must seen when visiting Athens. The pick up: easy to find. Bus is comfortable. There are breaks after ca 2 hours for water and snack. You will make million of pictures and videos

    Es handelte sich um einen 15 stündigen Ausflug , ca. 400 km von Athen. Das selbstbezahlte Essen in der Taverne war ungenießbar. Wurde in der Mikrowelle warmgemacht. Einen Essensgutschein hierfür bekam ich eine Stunde später bei der ersten Klosterbesichtigung. Fotografieren war in den Innenräumen der Klöster verboten. Der Guide war sehr gut informiert, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auf der Rückfahrt ungewünschte 5 stündige Dauerberieselung mit griechischer Folkloremusik.

    In un solo giorno non si può vedere molto, specie partendo da Atene. Questo Tour è il giusto approccio per conoscere e successivamente pensare a futuri viaggi dedicati. La guida è molto preparata e gentile e ci si ferma spesso per le foto. Troppo poco è il tempo per visitare tutti i monasteri.
