Description

As you pass through farms, fields, and plantations, and cross rivers and valleys, you will reach the small town of Kalambaka, nestled amidst the Pindos Mountains in the fertile Thessalian plain. Here, you will witness the breathtaking sight of the Meteora Monasteries, perched on rocks between heaven and earth, seemingly defying gravity. You will visit two of these monasteries, renowned for their collection of valuable Byzantine frescoes, icons, and carvings. Remember to dress appropriately as these monasteries are Unesco World Heritage sites. Take some time to explore the charming town of Kalambaka before enjoying a delicious lunch. On the return journey to your hotel, there will be a brief coffee break, allowing you to soak in the experience before returning to reality.
