Meteora is one of the most extraordinary places in Greece: enormous dark sandstone rocks rising above the town of Kalambaka, crowned by centuries-old monasteries suspended between earth and sky. With Exit Bus, you can experience it in comfort on a 10-hour private day tour from Thessaloniki, in a modern air-conditioned coach for groups of up to 50 guests, with an optional English-speaking guide.
Why visit Meteora
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988, Meteora is the second most important monastic complex in Greece after Mount Athos. Of the thirty monasteries originally built here, only seven remain active today. The community was founded in the 14th century by Saint Athanasios the Meteorist, and the views from the rock summits are simply unforgettable.
