Gita di un giorno intero a Meteora da Salonicco

L'escursione a Meteora rimarrà nei nostri ricordi per la suggestione del luogo davvero straordinario. Purtroppo il tempo che viene concesso per visitare i singoli monasteri è piuttosto risicato. La nostra guida greca, Georghe, molto stimolante e disponibile per ogni informazione. Io staff professionale. Il giudizio globale dell'escursione é Molto buono.

Amazing place but we felt guide is so amateur Expecting more info & our seatmates at lunch felt the same

the sight was amazing. However the guides were really just escorts..we had very dull rest stops. twice at the same dull motorway cafeteria there and back. lunch at ugly restaurant nowhere near the scenic taverns beneath meteora. We had to pay extra entrance fees to the monasteries i feel i was ripped off badly.

breathtaking views, a place worthwhile visiting, explanation of the guide was not very elaborate , could be better

I would have given it s 2 star but ai decided to add 1 for the tour attendant. She was trying really hard to smooth things out. First, the bus was very old. It even had built in ash trays in its seats. The airconditioner was barely working. It was hot. Then our tire got flat so we had to wait for it to be fixed. The good thing was that we waited at one of the rest areas where the tour buses stop so all the tourists could spend money on junk. We wasted more than hour waiting for the tire to be fixed. In order to "save time", the money for the entrance were collected on the bus, however several men, including a 17 year old child, were not allowed inside the monastery because their shorts were too short. They were not even allowed to cover themselves up. 3 euros for the entrance was not a big deal so no one asked for the money back, however the incident ruined the mood and the overall experience. On the way back we stopped at one of the tavernas for lunch The food was mediocre to say the least and extremely overpriced. Usually you can get the greek salad in thessaloniki for 3-4 euros. here it was 9! We had to make another unnecessary stop at the same rest area we stopped on the way there. Overall, very disappointing experience.

This trip was worth it if you had done some research into these areas. The archeological site at Pella and the museum were interesting while the tombs were amazing. I would recommend this trip if you have an interest. Our host was friendly and spoke English. However it would have been helpful if he had told us what to expect before we reached the locations. Lunch was good value and excellent.

This was a great trip and well worth the three hours travel time there and back to see these monasteries. The scenery was amazing and the views spectacular. Our host Natasha was very helpful and prepared us for what to expect including climbing 142 steps to reach the top of one of the monasteries. A must if you’re traveling to Thessaloniki. We recommend you book online and research the best pickup location. Also bring snacks as the day is long and lunch was expensive.

More than 3 hours each way, but we only got to see a small nunnery and one monastery. The commentary in English was limited and the quality of language was poor.

So please with the experience to visit the monasteries. My favorite was Varlaam. We learned a lot of local history from our driver. He even shared his favorite restaurant, which was fantastic.

An amazing place. Our guide Sophie (from Ammon Tours) was very erudite, with a lot of patience. Also came with a smile for all her passengers .
