UNESCO Meteora day trip from Athens: live guide, 3 monasteries inside, Hermit Caves of Badovas, photo stops, optional Greek lunch, coach.

“I was afraid of taking ONE whole day from our time in Greece...it was 100% worth it! The bus ride was beautiful, the small town we stopped for snacks and food were both adorable. The monasteries were breathtaking. Worth the time and reasonable cost. Plenty of walking but resting in between as well. Aphrodites and Niko were both great!”

A long day trip from Athens to Meteora with monastery interiors, Badovas hermit caves, plus seaside brunch and sunset dinner.

“We had an amazing day trip to Meteora. We highly recommend this trip. Maria was a delightful comedian who kept your attention with stories about the history of the site. The meal stops were fine and the drivers were reliable. There is a lot of sitting but the stops helped and the visit to the shore town on the way back and forth was also good for quick food. This will be a trip you won’t forget.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 825 reviews · 2 days · from $271

Two UNESCO stops from Athens, guided Delphi and Meteora monasteries with hotel, meals, and an easy, comfortable bus ride.

“Our guide, Marianna was excellent! She knew the history and culture. She would tell us the stories of ancient times related to these areas. The bus driver Theodore drove with caution and experience. He checked traffic and changed course for the return trip to Athens. The stop at Delphi was perfect. Marianna took us through most of it then we had free time to explore or go to the Museum. The lunch restaurant the first day was wonderful and organized. The hotel was nice along with the provided dinner and breakfast buffets. The restaurant for the lunch stop for the return was terrible. The food was not very good and…”

4-day Classical Greece tour from Athens: Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora with hotels, guide, and entry tickets.

“The tour was good and the locations of the sites were truly impressive. Long driving times were tedious. The tour guide worked diligently but was not well informed and not easy to deal with. Rest stops were well timed but the lunch places served their hot food cold. This was not the fault of the tour but was an unfortunate feature. The hotels and and breakfasts and dinners in them were excellent.”

One long, glorious day from Athens to UNESCO Meteora. Monasteries, Badovas hermit caves, audio guide, plus Kalambaka free time.

“This was a long bus trip to the Meteora area which was a beautiful place once we got there. A few suggestions - have the driver or a tour guide tell about the areas we traveled through such as history, culture, names of lakes, etc. Spend less time on meals and more time touring the monasteries.”

12.Meteora Day Trip with central Pick up & optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 590 reviews · 13 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $60.03

Meteora day trip from Athens with round-trip coach pickup, Badovas hermit caves, and monastery visits plus optional lunch. Long, worth it.

“This was a very good tour--well organized, on time and the guide Eva was great. I opted for the lunch for an extra 5 Euro. And it was a really great meal--a Greek Salad and then a choice from 9 different Greek main dishes, including a lot of meat dishes. But it's also a very long day, most of it spent on the bus. Probably not the right tour if you have just a few days in Athens. Pickup was at 7:10 am and we got back around 9:30 pm.”
