How booking a Meteora trip works

1 · Check which monasteries are open

Each monastery closes on its own day of the week. Check which ones a tour visits on your date, not just how many.

2 · Check what entry includes

Monastery entry is usually paid separately at each door. Confirm whether a tour's price covers it.

3 · Weigh the day trip

Day trips from Athens spend much of the day travelling. Compare time actually spent at the monasteries.
