From Parga: Magical Meteora Tour

The Rocks between earth and sky. This trip will take you deep in mainland of Greece to the group of six medieval monasteries each one balanced precariously on rock pinnacles rising up from plain. In the 14th and 15th centuries monasteries were made as places of refuge in troubled times and access to them too was extremely difficult, requiring either long ladders lashed together or a windlass and rope pulling up net, for goods and humans. Things remained much the same until the 1920’s when steps were carved into the rock allowing for easier access. It is difficult to imagine how the monasteries were built on their pinnacles in the first place. There is definitely a very special energy in this place that brings a sense of peace and serenity. Meteora and the impressive monasteries are included in the UNESCO "World Heritage sites" list and without a doubt should be on everyone’s must see list when in Greece. Booking this tour allows you to simply relax and enjoy the ride instead of renting a car and trying to find your own way to Meteora.

A must do trip for those who wish to be emerged in nature, learn about Greek Epirotan history, and experience local culture and customs. Tour guide Yvonne is exceptional. Driver Alex is excellent. You are in great hands and will have a full day packed with little surprises. Tour was able to show other sites not on the official list. You will marvel at the Vikos Gorge, the world’s largest gorge, be amazed by the stone bridges, and appreciate the cultural treasures of the Monodendri village in the Zagori region.

This was a lovely trip to see the monasteries. Not usually my sort of thing but they are so impressive and it makes you wonder how they were built with none of today's machinery. Yvonne, our guide, was very knowledgable and kept us on track so we did not have to wait and queue for anything. George was our driver and did a fantastic job navigating the roads and traffic. Overall, a very good trip - thank you

The atmosphere on the boat was great. Take a photo at the entrance to the boat, please let us know (photo ready) because that is nice because this photo will be on the key ring!
