Take the train to Kalambaka in the morning from the Athens Railway Station, and enjoy a trip that will give you the chance to admire the beauty of the countryside. An English-speaking driver will be waiting you holding a signboard with your name on it and will transfer you to your hotel in Kalambaka.
Stop At: Byzantine Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary, Kalambaka Greece
In the afternoon, meet your guide in order to visit the unique places and sites around Meteora. See places off the beaten path that only locals know and enjoy amazing views while you learn the true history and traditions of this astonishing place. You will also have the chance to visit the 1,000-year-old Badovas hermitages built inside caves and the old Byzantine church dedicated to the Assumption of Virgin Mary in Kalambaka — the most ancient monument of this region. Later, take in unique panoramic views from the most scenic spots in Meteora and capture one of the most amazing sunsets you could ever imagine.

I DO NOT recommend booking this package. Key Tours was very poor with communication: they would not provide necessary and accurate details in a timely manner. The hotel was not great and the included meals were bad. However the excursions were fantastic. If I were to visit Meteora again, which I highly recommend, I would book everything myself. By skipping the middle man, you save money and are put in direct contact with the wonderful and helpful people near Meteora and your life is easier. All your questions are answered and there are no surprises. Meteora is a beautiful, must-see destination!
