Tour Description

Our Meteora Hiking Experience is the best way to enjoy this unique geological phenomenon and to learn the history of an UNESCO World Heritage Site. An amazing morning hike that will take you through hidden trails, known only by locals and of course ourselves! A voyage back in time, following the footsteps of the first settlers (monks) who arrived here more than 15 centuries ago.

The Meteora Hiking Experience begins from the foothills of Doupiani rock, beneath the Pantokrator monastery ruins, crossing the immense rock formations in order to reach the northern side of Meteora.

Here, we discover the hidden monastery of Ypapanti and the ruins of Saint Dimitrious chapel. Listen to the stories and the legends about each place we pass along the trail and the thousand years of history will revive through the exciting narrative of our local guides. You will have the chance to enter the hidden monastery of Ypapanti, which opened its doors to hikers and will remain open until this October, away from the crowds. Afterwards, let us visit the monasteries of Great Meteoron or Varlaam and climb down the old footpath the monks used for centuries…
