This private tour from Athens to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Holy Monasteries in the rocky mountains of Meteora is truly unforgettable! The awe-inspiring Meteora rocks, formed 60 million years ago, are now part of the Natura 2000 network.

Meteora is home to six monasteries: Great Meteoron, Varlaam, Roussanou, Agios Stefanos, Holy Trinity, and St. Nicholas. Depending on the day and time of the visit, guests will explore 2 or 3 of these remarkable monasteries. Dating back to the 14th century, these monasteries are globally unique, showcasing an incredible collection of Byzantine and Christian artifacts, including traditional monk attire, exquisite paintings, and intricately etched glass.

In 1981, the James Bond film ‘For Your Eyes Only’ was partially filmed at the Monastery of Holy Trinity.
