Meteora Hidden Treasures Sunset Tour-Small Size Goup
Experience the enchanting beauty of nature's daily farewell as the sun sets in a breathtaking display of colors and tranquility. This tour is a journey into the heart of twilight, where the world transforms into a canvas of serene hues, and the sky itself becomes an artist. The Meteora Sunset Tour starts with a visit to a monastery, either the Nunnery of St. Stephen or the Monastery of St. Nicholas Anapafsas (depending on the day). Then we head to the old town of Kalampaka, where you get to visit the Byzantine Church of the Dormition of Virgin Mary. Afterwards, we go to the old hermitages of Bandovas and right before the sun starts setting behind the beautiful rocks, we stop around Meteora for photos. This tour is finished by a final stop at the Psaropetra rock, the most panoramic viewpoint in the area to enjoy the sunset.
