“Took my 85 yr old mum on this trip in March and she loved it, she wasn’t able to go in all the monasteries due to her ability to walk long distances but she still loved it, Maria the tour guide was informative and funny - all in all a great day out. Yes the bus takes a while but certainly worth it to experience this magical place.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 879 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $87

Review of the Meteora day trip from Athens, with monastery visits, hermit caves, lunch, transport tips, costs, and honest advice.

“The first bus we caught to go there was not made for people over 6ft tall, not the company’s fault but then there were strikes on blocking the highway. Our trip went from 3hrs drive to almost 6hrs, it got very uncomfortable very quick. Due to the delays in driving we missed going to one of the churches but I can’t fault the tour guides or driver they did all they could and the time we were in meteora was amazing.”

5.Kefalonia: Melissani Lake, Drogarati Cave, & Myrtos Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 121 reviews · 7 hours · from $64Best value

Explore Kefalonia’s Melissani Lake, Drogarati Cave, Nautical Museum, and Myrtos Beach on a well-paced seven-hour day trip.

“Excellent, it’s the best choice if you want more time on the best beach, the cave is a lot of cueing for a short boat ride of ten to fifteen minutes and if you want to see the cave in its full glory you will need to go later in the day but the ques will be longer and then the beach will be busy.., this trip gets you there earlier and then on to relax for three hours which was a little bit of heaven ❤️”
