Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Meteora, Kastraki, Kalambaka 422 00 Greece

The name Metéora derives from meteorizo (μετεωρίζω), which means "to lift up". This name describes the location of the monasteries built on high sandstone cliffs that sometimes seem to float in misty air.

The entire complex consists of 24 individual monasteries and hermitages, of which only six are still inhabited today. The remaining eighteen monasteries are either too difficult to reach or have been abandoned due to collapse.

Depending on your wishes, we visit 2 to 3 monasteries depending on the opening hours of the monasteries.

Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Panteleimon, Panteleimon, Pieria Region, Central Macedonia

On request and at no extra cost depending on the season and in good weather conditions: visit to the traditional mountain village of Palios Panteleimonas (South Olympus): a rare and ancient beauty. After the historic mountain village was destroyed in an earthquake in the 19th century, this original place Panteleimonas was only recently re-populated and again largely built in the source.
Some buildings are still not restored, and convey the place with a special flair.
In order to get to this village, you have to drive six kilometers in serpentines up the slope, but it's worth it!
Due to its hillside location, the place must be explored on foot: Here you can not drive in by car.

Away from the hustle and bustle, you will feel transported back to ancient Greece: discover the beautiful old houses, which fit perfectly into the slopes of Mount Olympus, or hike quite relaxed in this small village.
Take in the smells of the mountains; It smells of different herbs, like the wild oregano or the Greek mountain tea. Of course, you can also purchase these various herbs in the small shops.

On request (instead of mountain village Palios Panteleimonas) lunch in Trikala in an authentic Greek tavern (no mass tourism). Lunch is not included in the price.
