After breakfast, get ready to explore Meteora. Meteora is a unique rock formation that looks like towering sandstone columns formed millions of years ago. On the top of those formations, you will find precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries. Even nowadays, the monasteries are operational and are visited by people who want to pray and enjoy this spectacular view.

You will be able to walk and drive around Meteora. You will also have the chance to visit a 130,000 years old prehistoric cave.

Our next stop is the town of Kalambaka, where you have three options in terms of activities. You can either visit the Greek Education Museum and learn about the local culture, take a mini-course in the Greek language, or attend a Byzantine art workshop with a local artist!

For lunch, you either visit a village nearby and have lunch there or visit one of the local wineries.

Do not forget your camera as the sunset is breathtaking.
