Some parts of the hike were intense for a mid-aged not in a great shape woman, but we stopped to rest and hear more stories or learn about plants and nature. Definitely worth the efforts! Highly recommend”

“This is a great tour. We did it the first day we arrived to learn more about the area and the monasteries then spent the next 2 days hiking. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The monasteries and views are amazing and the sunset was breathtaking. The only downfall was that there was a Spanish speaking family who had an interpreter with them. I’m not sure if this was supplied by the tour company or if he was a personal friend, but he had to repeat everything the guide said and as it was a small bus, and he was rather loud, this was quite distracting.”

“Thie walk was a highlight of our holiday. The first time we've done a guided walk - we normally do our own and get hopelessly lost. Not this time though - you need a guide here especially a local guide like Kristos who engaged us throughout so we didn't even notice the hills! He set a pace to suit everyone which was much appreciated. He had walking poles, which were a necessity for me. Gave us water and plenty of resting stops. The pick up was right in time. 0830 to 1330. We chatted to others in our group too. Perfect!”

Ride from Kalambaka through Kastraki and Meteora with a local guide such as Theo or Vasilis. This three-hour sunset tour uses e-bikes to make the hills easier, with monastery viewpoints, local snacks, safety gear, and a maximum of 10 people.

“Vasilis was exceptional as a guide with decades of biking experience and many years running this tour along with his wife, Jenny, who was so kind to help my wife and son get the best fitting bike and even included local snacks... so good we bought more of around the corner after the tour. Rather than a giant tour company, this is a family-run business in a family-oriented town of Meteora. No other Meteora company can be as knowledgable, friendly, or more hard-working than Meteora e-Bike. Don't think twice!”
