Thessaloniki to Meteora – Private Day Trip

ABOUT METEORA

A World Heritage Site by UNESCO
Meteora means “suspended in space”
Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Greece, is renowned for its surreal landscape of towering rock formations crowned with monasteries. Perched atop sheer cliffs, these monasteries, built in the 14th century, provide breathtaking views of the Thessaly plains. Meteora is a testament to both nature’s grandeur and human ingenuity.
