Trust the locals!!!
From the early Christian times, the Meteora vertical cliffs were regarded as the perfect place to achieve absolute isolation, to discover peace and harmony and, thus, to support man’s eternal struggle for spiritual elevation.
The gigantic rocks of Meteora are perched above the town of Kalambaka, at a maximum height of 400 m (1200 ft). The most interesting summits are decorated with historical monasteries, included in the World Heritage List of Unesco

Thermopylae is world-famous for the battle that took place there between the Spartans and the invading Persian forces. For three days they held a narrow route between hills and the sea against Xerxes. A traitor named Ephialtes of Trachis showed the path to the invaders. The Legendary Spartans denied to surrender and they fought till the last one. A tragedy, showing the spirit and the mentality of Greeks.

The views were amazing and unforgettable. It's is a place that is unique in the world. The weather did not cooperate-cold, windy and a little rainy. The other thing that limited us were the crowds which was surprising for the time of year but we did not consider local visitors due to orthodox Easter holiday.

Amazing experience, the driver and tour in general was 10/10. I highly recommend getting this tour not just for the beauty of Meteora but also for the convenience and knowledge a private tour brings. Our driver was very accommodating which was very important for us since we travel with a 4 year old. Was truly an amazing experience

Outstanding tour to a magnificent & mystifying place!!! Despite the rain, Mr. Costas took great care of us driving over 8 hours to get us safe and sound from our hotel in Athens to Meteora and back. It was foggy when we arrived but the sky eventually cleared and we were able to climb a couple of the monasteries ( two were closed for maintenance). We got to see some amazing 15th century frescoes and religious artifacts. Totally worth the time spent on the road sightseeing the Greek countryside with Mr. Costas' pointing out significant historical landmarks along the way. Very Highly recommended especially if you have a full day to spare for the trip and a few hours marveling at these epic structures!!

During our November 2023 trip to Athens we were very fortunate indeed to take a day trip to Meteora via a hired private car. Our driver Costas picked up my wife and me from our hotel so there was no aggravation and anxiety trying to find a meeting point. We were driven in a very comfortable car - an important consideration because it's a long day and I'm a very tall guy. Costas was a super nice and very personable guy who provided a lot of information about Meteora as well as Greek history and Greek life in general. The monasteries and nunneries of Meteora are incredibly beautiful and almost other worldly due to their location on top of enormous stone mountains that project from the earth. The religious artwork you'll find there is just stunning. It's a supremely worthwhile destination. After visiting two monasteries and one nunnery Costas took us to a close by village where we had the best meal of our entire vacation. All in all a great trip! Note that you will have to do lots of climbing to see everything so wear comfortable shoes and be sure to cover your legs and shoulders in respect to the religious nature of those sites. Many thanks to Costas and his team for a wonderful excursion!

We love our driver Vasilis. He is a man of few words but the kindest man we have ever met. He is very patient especially with our kids and is willing to accomodate to all our plans and schedule. Very importantly, he is also a really safe driver. Considering the long 8 hours he had to drive back and forth from Meteora, we are surprised by his lack of weariness. We are also very happy with our tour guide Nancy at Meteora. She was very approachable and enthusiastic. She offered lots of information about meteora and the monasteries. She planned a suitable route for our kids so it will keep them engaged. Her stories were entertaining and uplifting. The kids were kept interested throughout the 4 hour walk without once complaining about the steps to the monasteries (which was something I was worried about before the trip) Our monastery trip would lackluster if not for these wonderful people, Nancy and Vasilis!

The daytrip to Meteora with Yomadic was perfect!! Mr.Vasilius, our drive, did a great job. He drove us very safely, always concerned with our comfort and our needs. Andreas, the person who organized, all our tours and transfer, also did a perfect job. We highly recommend this company.

Great service by Costa; he was knowledgeable, friendly and recommended a perfect family owned restaurant with local flavors as we requested.
As for Meteora tour, I highly recommend do it with the private driver: more flexible, quicker and you will avoid the crowds, your pictures will be your group only, no lines to share on the favorites spots.
