This trip is really exceptional and anyone with a few days or more in Athens should go to see. The train trip is long but really you get to take in the country side out of Athens. Passing through small towns and chatting along the way. We were fortunate to take this on a not so busy day. No lines or delays due to crowds. The Meteora Monasteries are fantastic. You can only imagine the work it took to build these some 500 years ago.
Hello, Last week my mother and I did a guided trip to Meteora with Jim, and it was one of the loveliest birthday experiences I’ve ever had. He did an absolutely amazing job and I wanted to pass this on to him— especially since I typically despise guided tours. I have one very important question for him, though. I want to ask him what the name of the plum tree is that he showed us at the first Monastery, because I would like to see if I can find the same tree here in Cyprus. I have been obsessing about this fruit since we left.
Breathtaking and amazing are the words that come to mind. Our train was delayed by around 2.5 hours due to mechanical problems but Vasilis, our guide, whisked us off immediately to start our journey to a beautiful landscape with a rich history.

I think this is the easiest way to do a day trip from Athens, and it is totally worth it! The description is not super clear on this, but you will arrive around lunch time, take a quick look at hermit caves, and then have the opportunity to grab food before heading to the monasteries. You will also be able to grab food upon returning from the monasteries.
