“We recently embarked on the "Monastery E-Bike Tour" with Meteora E-Bike and it was an extraordinary experience! This tour allowed us to explore Meteora, home to six working monasteries and many ruined ones. The e-bikes were a fantastic way to navigate the area, providing an effortless and eco-friendly mode of transport that let us fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery. We visited one of the monasteries (Monastery of Varlaam), saw the museum and the church and the net that helps them get amenities up, we also learnt about the monastic life! Our tour guide was exceptional—extremely knowledgeable and friendly, making the entire experience both educational and enjoyable. He was easy-to-talk...”

We kregen van onze gids Chris heel veel info over de geschiedenis van Meteora en werden naar mooiste plekjes geleid door we op ons eentje nooit gingen gevonden hebben. Aanrader!”
