Awe-Inspiring Meteora: Where Nature Meets Spirituality in Greece | Greece Travel

Come with me to stunning Meteora, Greece. Meteora is home to several monasteries perched on top of limestone rock formations that look like are from another planet. Not only are the monasteries an amazing feat of architecture, the surround natural beauty is stunning!
A big Thank you to ‪@VisitmeteoraTravel‬for the tours. The guides were outstanding with their knowledge and hospitality. Book directly with Visit Meteora here, visitmeteora.t.... The tours I did was the Sunset Tour and the Half-Day Tour.

We were there in October and I think it was the highlight of the trip for my wife and daughter. And that was after seeing the sights of Athens, Santorini, Paros and Delphi. It is incredible. As a side note, driving in Greece is super easy. The roads are better than here in the states and the traffic is nothing to sweat over.

[@agirlandherpassport]

It has been one of the best things I have done here. I don't think the driving is easy in the mountains! But that is because I am afraid of heights. There is no traffic though. They have no idea what traffic is like!

[@johnm8891]

@@agirlandherpassport That's for sure! As far as mountain driving goes that was my biggest surprise about Greece. It's actually quite mountainous. We did some unitentional off roading up to what must have been the highest point on Paros. Didn't bother me but my wife was ready to pass out!

[@johnm8891]

And the roads in and out of Delphi will definitely keep you on your toes!

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@johnm8891 I think it surprises a lot of people.

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@johnm8891 Those are some very scary roads for sure!

[@profjohn9629]

Wow! Meteora has always been on my "bucket list". Thanks for another great video. Stay safe.

[@agirlandherpassport]

You should definitely go. You’re welcome.

[@barbararaesis5859]

Amazing! But I am afraid of heights!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Me too! But honestly, it wasn't really an issue. I didn't get close to the edge of most anything. Climbing all the stairs was the hard part.

[@tanyab244]

Tiffany, your photography is very, very good. I enjoyed your video.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you very much!!

[@angelicamalfavon5784]

It’s gorgeous !!!! I was there last month and I’ll go back if I could 😁

[@agirlandherpassport]

I would too!

[@sarahgall7363]

Thank you Tiffany! You make me want to do the tour!

[@agirlandherpassport]

You're welcome. So happy to hear that!

[@vapalaca]

Beautiful - So green looks like Ireland 😅

[@agirlandherpassport]

I was so surprised by the green. They had a ton of rain as well so that helped but apparently this is normal there. I loved it.

[@bmakrides]

Wow this place looks amazing, thank you for sharing!!

[@elenidavis4983]

Wonderful!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you!

[@erinhaprian3349]

We were just there a little over a week ago and toured St Nicholas and the nunnery at Roussenau. It was so spiritual and beautiful. Im glad youre highlighting it.

[@agirlandherpassport]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@inazitzer8961]

Meteora truly is magnificent! When I visited, the whole town of Kalambaka was empty due to Covid and sadly the monasteries were closed, too. Guess that gives me a reason to come back😊

[@agirlandherpassport]

Oh yes, you definitely need to go back! I would love to go back again.

[@shaulkirsch1263]

Do drop to Ioanina to see the town, the lake & the small island there, & Thank you for sharing 🙏😊

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thanks for watching! I am not there anymore. This was a few weeks ago.

I would love to go back again. Welcome!

[@citaarroyo5663]

Tiffany Thank you- I will be in Greece in September and Meteora is on my list- I will book a tour with this company!

[@agirlandherpassport]

You will love it! Have a great time.

[@KMan-ye2kp]

Loved this video. I have wanted you to do a video about Meteora. I'm planning to go there next May and will look into this company for the tour. Do you think this would be possible to do as a daytrip from Athens? I'm trying to create our itinerary now and I think my college aged travelers will love this.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you! You can do it as a day trip but you won’t see much. The train is 4 and a half hours each way. It would be a very long day.

[@cyclops92]

This episode is why i love your channel, great commentary and great footage. A quick question have you updated your camera this footage seems to higher quality Take care

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you so much. No, this is my regular cameras. I did include a few stills from my Sony but that is it.

[@cyclops92]

@@agirlandherpassport Can you help me out please, my daughter thinks you wear blue contact lenses , and I said they're your natural colour and they are more blue under light. P.s let me be right, the lower has to cook dinner tonight

[@agirlandherpassport]

Haha! I don’t wear any contacts. The color seems more intense on camera for some reason. In real life they are more green even. When I do a sit down video, I have a direct light and the look very blue which they aren’t. So you are right. 😊

[@cyclops92]

[@HesionaCelo]

Did you feel safe on the train from Athens? I’m traveling there solo tomorrow!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Sorry, just getting to comments but I felt totally safe. I hope you had a great time.

[@cynthiakritika5047]

I’m in Tinos now but will be in Athens for a bit the beginning of August. I was trying to decide if I wanted to take a day tour there. But it looks like you took a two day tour? I know August will be steaming if I go. Or maybe I should wait when I come back in April?? Pictures can’t do it justice I’m sure!

[@agirlandherpassport]

I did two different tours that were both only half days. A day trip is possible but I think you need two days to see all the monasteries. It will be very hot in August. I think it will be greener in April than in August. Just my two cents.

[@cynthiakritika5047]

@@agirlandherpassport April does sound more enticing weather wise. I just have always wanted to go to Meteora. Have you been to the village Volax in Tinos? I did a little hike there and the rock formations are insane. It looks like a different planet. Especially in the dark. You should check it out one day.

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@cynthiakritika5047 Yes, I went to Tinos last year for Easter! Volax was my favorite part.

[@nickgiles7568]

Stunning views. Thank you Tiffany. Much is made of the Greek Islands and the beaches but your video shows that there is so much more to be seen in this country and just as beautiful.

[@agirlandherpassport]

You're welcome. There is so much beyond islands to see for sure!

[@dchiddengems]

Great video and congrats on the sponsorship too. Beautiful place and didn’t expect it to be so green and lush. We are planning a trip and can’t wait. Thanks!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you! I didn’t either but it was raining a lot so it might be that. I loved it. Have a great trip.

[@lisamariebright5315]

So beautiful- thank you for bringing us along!

[@patriciaferreyra8264]

Amazin!! Thanks for your video! Which town is better to stay for one night? Kastraki or Kalambaka?

[@agirlandherpassport]

You're welcome. For one night, either is fine. They both have restaurants. Kalabaka is a bit more lively at night as it is bigger.

[@Arcadian1821]

Great video! Much appreciation from a Greek in Texas.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thanks from a Texan in Greece!

[@aldrickbanks3455]

Renting a scooter to circle the round the main route is very efficient. But the female monk i saw was not super friendly.

[@agirlandherpassport]

If you are willing to go up mountain roads on one yes! I’m sure they get tired of tourists coming all the time. I didn’t run into any friendly ones.

[@vaggelisvilliotis6465]

Beautiful greece!!

Still on my list maybe in November!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Do it! I loved it.

[@orozcoaj69]

Beautiful video/scenery. I was lucky enough to have visited Meteora last April. It was raining. I had to walk to them🥵 Women have to wear knee length skirts, entrance fee is 3 euros each monastery

[@agirlandherpassport]

I couldn’t have walked it. The hills are too steep. I just took a big scarf to put on over my jeans.

[@orozcoaj69]

@@agirlandherpassport that’s smart. I had to buy one of the scarf they sell because I didn’t know about the dress code 😬

[@agirlandherpassport]

I really didn’t want to wear one that tons of others had worn. Although I had to once because I left mine on the bus. But theirs seemed clean.

[@orozcoaj69]

I hear you. I have now learned that it’s always wise to carry a long scarf in my purse, for the “just in case” situations 😉. So glad you finally went to Meteora. Hopefully Thessaloniki soon 🤞🏽🤩

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@orozcoaj69 Yeah, it is a good thing to do. I wish I had one today actually as I wanted to go inside this church but was wearing shorts and no sleeves. One day I will make it there.

[@taki2003]

absolutely breathtaking!

[@agirlandherpassport]

I agree!!

[@despinakyraleos2234]

Thanks Tiffany, my aunt used to live in Kalambaka, and sitting on her balcony we used to stare at the Meteroa. I had lunch in a tavern in Kastraki with my cousin who lives there, in the winter. Life got in the way and I did not go back until 2018 on a Viator tour with a Canadian friend who had not been there. It was a very hot September day, with hundreds of other people, in one of those awful big buses. Your video shows the beauty of it when you have time to explore. You do your research so well. Visit Meteroa looks like an amazing company. Does the same company do other cities in Greece?

[@agirlandherpassport]

I thought it was so cool to be able to see it from my hotel balcony! I can’t imagine going up there in the summer. It was the perfect temperature when I went. I think I was lucky.
