Get to know Meteora - Half Day Tour!
Description
Visit 2 main monasteries of Meteora and discover the natural beauty and the cultural heritage of this area. This morning tour will take you back in the dark ages and the story of the first hermits and monks who laid the foundations of what later on became the monastic community of Meteora. Learn which monastery was the first to be established and the true motivations behind the monks’ decision to try to climb the steep rocks of Meteora and to build there the monasteries.
Learn everything, see everything. And then we will take you to the most beautiful spots for amazing views and photos. And if you’re wondering that this will be all we have prepared for you, think again. Imagine that millions of tourists visit every year the site of Meteora and most of them are coming and going completely unaware of one of the most important prehistoric sites not only to Greece but for the entire world, with archeological findings dating all the way back to 130,000 BC!
Take our half day tour and include a guided visit to Theopetra prehistoric cave and travel back in time to learn and feel the daily life of the prehistoric people of Thessaly, right at the dawn of mankind and of our civilization. Have a chance to get inside the prehistoric cave and discover all the astonishing findings made by the Greek archeologists after painstaking excavations that lasted for nearly 20 years and forever changed the view they had for the prehistory of Meteora. A tour not to be missed by anyone!
NOTE: The cave of Theopetra remains closed on Mondays and public holidays. During these days we visit three monasteries instead of two.
