There comes a time when we all just want to step away from all the city madness and find a peaceful escape. For all of you who are tired of looking for a quick getaway don’t worry, GrekAddict team has a solution for you. We present you, Meteora!

Meteora is the geological wonder of immense rocks that were created and shaped by different natural forces. These rocky giants are surrounded by mesmerizing natural landscape which makes this place a perfect location for exploring and hiking activities. What makes these “columns of the sky” even more breathtaking, are the six majestic monasteries placed at the very top of each column. The monasteries were built by monks centuries ago with the purpose to find inner peace and spiritual elevation. For this reason, this destination is still immensely popular as a soul sanctuary. These monasteries and their rich cultural history set up a unique combination of outdoor adventures and history together.

In case you can’t decide on how to approach Meteora, we prepared three different tours that will suit every need.
