Meteora day trip: monasteries and hermit caves

Meteora's monasteries, with the sea for rest stops

The 08:00 departure from Larissis station stops by the sea at Kamena Vourla for an optional brunch, then continues to Kastraki for a traditional lunch (included). A local guide takes you inside three of the six monasteries, with photo stops at all six and a visit to the Hermit Caves of Badovas.

On the way back there's another seaside stop for an optional sunset dinner, arriving in Athens around 22:30. A long day, made easier by good breaks.
