One of the longer trips from Corfu, but worth the trouble. Majestic caves, and hanging over them, overgrown (it’s hard to even find a word) monastery buildings on impressive natural sandstone cliffs. As if you’ve come close to Heaven.

The history of its creation and construction is extraordinary. Even if you plan to visit on your own, it would be useful to have the help of a guide who knows the history of ancient relics very well.

Meteora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of pilgrims from all over the world. There are currently 6 monasteries operating.

  • From Corfu Island, take a ferry to Igoumenitsa and travel to Kalambaka. You will admire the landscape of the Greek mainland, as well as the wild beauty of the Pindus Mountains.
  • Upon arrival in Kalambaka at the foot of Meteora, you will see handmade Christian icons in a hagiography workshop.
  • You will visit two monasteries located on the rocks.
  • In the small town of Kalambaka you can taste traditional Greek food.
