Itinerary
By reaching Kalambaka, an important town well known due to the second largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox Monasteries in Greece after Mount Athos, Meteora, you will have the potentiality to visit two or three of the six suspended in the air Monasteries, built on natural sand stone rock pillars. The Meteora Monasteries date back to the 11th century and are included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites. The James Bond movie for your eyes only was filmed at the Monastery of Holy Trinity.
The Thermopylae or else the Hot Gates is an important town well known for the battle among the Greek forces including the 300 Spartans and their leader King Leonidas and the Persians in 480 BC, commemorated by Simonides in the famous epitaph, "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, That here obedient to their laws we lie." The monument of King Leonidas was erected by the battlefield reminding all of us of the sacrifice of those patriots for a free country.

Christoff was our private tour guide. He was kind, professional and very knowledgeable. He added great depth to the journey because of his personal and professional experience. As a result, the ride to and fro Athens was quite enjoyable. We felt like we made a new friend instead of simply having a tour guide.

We had a great day going to Meteora! Our driver Christos was perfect. He was a gentleman, and shared a lot of information. It was like being with a friend! He picked us up promptly, made sure we were comfortable, and took us to an excellent local restaurant for lunch. We will only use HP tours when we return!

Excellent experience. Comfortable transportation and very good service. Jimmy, the driver, really professional and great culture. He knows the places perfectly well and knows how to avoid crowds in addition to recommending little-known places and quality restaurants. This is my second time in Greece and second time hiring HP tours, absolutely recommended

My wife and I were assisted by Jimmy to do a two-day tour of Meteora from Athens. We were pleased with the professionalism of Jimmi as the driver and guide. Despite flight delays, we were able to cover the major monasteries at Meteora. I highly recommend Hellenic Private Tours with Jimmy.

This was a remarkable day. The photos of the monasteries had prepared us to be awed but being there in person far exceeded our expectations. Our driver was wonderful, professional and friendly. The trip requires a lot of time in the car, but we were comfortable and it was so worth it.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are so glad that you had a wonderful time! We are looking forward to offering you again our services! Warmest Regards, On behalf of H.P. Tours Frank Kotsiopoulos Manager Director
We went as 2 families in a private tour( 10 seater Mercedes) and we did 4 diff private tours from the same company . Hands down one of the best tour experiences I have had . They took us to two Monasteries with great views, and on the way stopped at some local restaurants and shops to buy the famous halwa. They took us to Thermopylea the place where the Sparta war happened and covered extra things. I would recommend them to everyone. Look no further and book with them.
