Join this morning hiking tour to Meteora and fully experience this true marvel accompanied by a knowledgeable local mountain guide.

You will discover the jaw-dropping “hidden” monastery of Ypapanti and view the ancient Ruins of St. Dimitrios. Additionally you will visit the monastery of Great Meteoron or Varlaam (depending on the day of the hike) and learn all about the history and legends directly from your local mountain guide.
