Highlights

  • Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Greece, is renowned for its surreal landscape of towering rock formations crowned with monasteries. Perched atop sheer cliffs, these monasteries, built in the 14th century, provide breathtaking views of the Thessaly plains. Meteora is a testament to both nature’s grandeur and human ingenuity.

Our Route

1st Stop: Venetikos River and Bridge

Arrival Time: 11:00 (approx.)

Duration: 15 minutes

A river that flows between some of the larger rivers of Greece, connects the mountains of Epirus with the plains of Grevena and forms landscapes of great aesthetic value. Venetikos river is the largest tributary of the big Aliakmonas river and flows entirely in the prefecture of Grevena. It stems in the east of the prefecture from two streams that descend, one from the south-eastern slopes of Vasilitsa mountain and the north-east of Avgo mountain and the other from the south of the Taliaros hills. The two streams (Aspropotamos from the west and Dotsikiotiko from the north) meet in the gorge of Portitsa, between the villages Spilaio and Parorio, forming the original part of Venetikos. Just before their meeting the northern branch of the river is called Velonias. Venetikos then moves from west to east at a distance of 46 km. It flows south of Orliakas mountain and continues south of the city of Grevena, where at the main road connecting Grevena and Kalambaka flows between vertical rocks, the famous “Gates of Venetikos”.

2nd Stop: Rest and Coffee Break

Arrival Time: 11:30 (approx.)

Duration: 30 minutes

3nd Stop: The Monastery of Agios Stefanos | Meteora

Arrival Time: 12:30 (approx.)

Duration: 30 minutes

The Monastery of Agios Stefanos or Saint Stephen is the most accessible monastery. Instead of steps you simply cross a small bridge to reach the entrance. It is ideal for visitors who wants to have a real experience of a Meteora monastery but they can’t clib the steps or for visitors with mobility issues. There is always the option to visit any monastery you want.
