Enjoy stunning views from the top of the Meteora rocks and learn about the history and the geological significance of the area. Our hiking tour starts from St. Nicolas Monastery in Kastraki village, following the same old paths the monks used, which wind their way amongst the tall rock-towers. We pass beneath the ruined monastery of Pantocrator on the north side of the rock of Dupiani. Then the path takes us to the heart of the lush forest reaching the abandoned and restored Monastery of “Ιpapanti” and the ruins of St. Dimitrios. A short hike leads us to the monasteries of Varlaam and Great Meteoro where we can visit one of them. We then return to Kastraki through the rocks by the ancient path used by the monks, passing next to the cave of St. George Mandila. During the hike if we are lucky we can see climbers climbing on the rocks. Caution: Meteora monasteries have strict dress codes so women will need to wear a long skirt, dress or sarong. It’s not enough to keep your knees covered so no trousers or shorts. However, all the monasteries have wrap skirts at the entrances that you can borrow. Shoulders should also be covered.
