Visiting Meteora was a travel bucket list item for us. We found that there wasn't a huge amount of helpful information online about it though, so we made this video to help other travelers by sharing our experience, tips and showing what it's like at this incredible place.
🚆 We purchased our Athens to Kalambaka/Kalampaka (direct) train tickets online from Hellenic Train:
▸ www.hellenictrain.gr/en
🕤 Meteora Monasteries Opening Hours
▸ meteora.com/meteora-monasteri...
🚌 Meteora Bus Route & Tips
▸ KALAMPAKA to METEORA
Kalampaka Bus Station - Hotel Divani - Town Hall Square - Campaing Vrachos - Kastraki - Camping The Cave - St Nicholas Anapafsas - Roussanou - Varlaam - Great Meteoron - Holy Trinity - St Stephen.
▸ METEORA to KALAMPAKA
St Stephen - Holy Trinity - Varlaam - Great Meteoron - Roussanou - St Nicholas Anapafsas - Camping The Cave - Kastraki - Campaing Vrachos - Town Hall Square - Kalampaka Bus Station.
• Kalampaka Bus Station is on the corner of Ikonomou and Averof Street
• It's best to visit the Kalampaka Bus Station to get the most up to date timetable that has departure times from Kalampaka to Meteora and from Meteora to Kalampaka (as these do seem to change)
• As there are no departure times other than from the first and last stops (Kalampaka Bus Station and St Stephen respectively) it makes it a bit tricky to know what time the bus will arrive at each monastery. We recommend asking the ticket seller on the bus for advice and also to find out where the actual waiting/bus stop is as it's not always obvious.

Hi both, I can see why it is on your bucket list, the views from the 3 monastery. Love the greens (either Peter's got a new toy or the photoshop) with the drops, with the monastery perch as background. The forecourt of Varlam, really nice too @5.45 thot Yen was going to say, but now, we are going for a lunch 😅🌮 love today's vlog, the scenery every few seconds apart, breath taking, thanks for sharing and Have a Great Week

Aye yaaaa yaaaaaaaaa….. luckily the amazing views will suffice this time…very very amazingly breath taking scenery… learning a lot about travel in Greece.. thanks guy! Random thought… have you guys lost anything important during your trip to Italy, Morocco, Greece? Was thinking would suck to lose something important on such a long trip… anyway, back to my original thought… great vid guys and looking forward to the next one.. CKB 😭😭😭 🇳🇿

Hi Yen and Peter! Thanks for sharing your trip! We're also planning to visit Meteora and we too would like to take the train from Athens to Kalabaka. Can you tell us on the app whether you booked from "Athens" or "Larissa" though? Confusing!
@PeterandYen
@PeterandYen 2 месяца назад
Hiya! Oh how exciting, we loved Meteora so hope you will too 😁 we booked Athens (but the station you catch in Athens is called Larissa). There's a city in Greece called Larissa too so that's why it's another "from" option on the website. I had the same confusion initially too 😂😆

Hi Peter and Yen! Very detailed and helpful video! How long did it take for you to cover three monasteries? Is three hours a good enough time to cover Great Meteoron and Holy Trinity? Thank you in advance!
@PeterandYen
@PeterandYen 2 месяца назад
Hello, thank you! 👋 I believe it took us about 7-8 hours to cover all 3 so I think you can you should be ok to cover the 2 monasteries in 3 hours as long as you don't spend too long and don't miss the bus (if you're planning on catching the bus). Best of luck 🍀🙂

I visited Meteora in the late 70's. I had climbed up high and had an overview of a nearby valley where some important ancient battle occurred. From my position I could look down on some of the monasteries. Suddenly the quiet was shattered by the scream of Hellenic Air Force fighter jets passing between the rock pillars and very near to a large monastery. It was an amazing experience to look down upon fighter jets rather than looking up in the sky at them. I do recall feeling sorry for the monks though, having to endure the ear splitting noise of fighter jets passing so close. For the sake of the monks I hope that the Hellenic Air Force no longer uses the area for training purposes. But if anyone has video footage similar to what I have described I'd appreciate if you could upload it.

Do not worry for this. Meteora were built mostly after the time when Islam started becoming prominent in the Balkan area, and the faithful of the Byzantine(Roman) empire receded to this place along many others, and with them they brought their masonry knowledge that helped turn the shacks on top of the columns into full fledged multi floor buildings. So if anything else, the people of Meteora know that technological advance is a means of fulfilling the Christian placed doctrine that God made us into his image, and so that we would be like him. And technological prowess is meant to bring us closer to Him. Fighter jets are just on the current edge of technology, making us think of Dragons or better, Angels. They are welcome. And in 100 years, exo atmospheric fusion powered interplanetary fighter jets, will be welcomed. Meteora will be there to greet them and say hello. For they are the means to the final ends.

Well I just found out about this place today! There's so much beauty and culture in Greece, but so little time to take it all in. We've only got eight nights in Greece and had planned on being an Athens for only two. Should we add another day On the mainland to seeing meteora, even if it means taking a day from the islands?

Hello Peter here, I may be a little biased because this was one of my life bucket list items to see the monasteries. After seeing them in person, we found meteora even more amazing than we first imagined. Definitely the highlight of our time in Greece.
