Meteora is a magical place, worth visiting if you travel to Athens. It's a 4 to 5 hr train trip but very scenic along the way. Key Tours guides were very punctual, and were waiting for us outside the Kalambaka train station. From there we went by bus to the magical world of monasteries built year ago on the tips of the mountains, with such precision, that they seem heavenly. You are given time to go inside 2 monasteries, if you like and visited many others. Trip is good for any kind of travelers (kids included)
Fantastic trip. The train was very comfortable and the views stunning. The guide/driver was there to meet us, and he was very helpful and full of information. An excellent and kind guide. The monasteries were so beautiful and the area very different and beautiful. I can warmly recommend this trip.
Visiting Meteora was one of the best experiences of my trip to Greece and probably one of the most beautiful experiences in my life! The five hour train ride is more than worth it to visit this beautiful place. Key tours did a great job with this tour since the time is limited when you arrive in Kalabaka. This tour was worth every penny and I would recommend Key Tours to everyone planning on visiting Meteor
The few hours in Meteora were well worth this trip! We had Ilias as our guide. He was very timely and courteous and it was like our own private car. He stopped at the best sites for us to take photos and answered all of our questions. You can tell how much he loves his town and is proud of it. He even stayed with us for dinner and walked us right to the train door for our trip back to Athens. We saw two monasteries and stopped at plenty of other great viewing spots along the way. If you only have one day to visit Meteora you won't be disappointed
Having done some fantastic train trips ( High speed trains) in Taiwan during a recent holiday, this journey seemed endless because it's a much slower train in comparison, there is no wifi and no hot meals are available during nearly 6 hour train ride each way! The monastries are amazing because it's hard to imagine how they built those structures in highly inaccessible places but it's only a couple of hours tour and one spends nearly 12-14 hours on the train just for that short trip. I wish they find a better means of transportation so that people actually spend more time on the Meteora Tour itself. We booked with Viator and I specifically asked them about the meals because one spends breakfast, lunch and dinner time on the train and they never reverted to me. The time between the train rides is spent rushing on the tour and there is hardly any time to pick up food in Meteora (specially if it's a Sunday- everything closes by 4-5pm). So pls do your research and see if your time is better spent in Athens :)
The tour guide made the trip
The tour guide was amaizing. The train ride is super exhausting but Meteora is worth it.
