Things to do in Athens

Travelled 1 Dec 2025, weather was crisp, there were no crowds, it was worth paying the additional 5 Euros to enter each monastery. lunch and dinner stops were expensive and not tasty. views were amazing. would definitely recommend it.

After the bus arrived at Larissa Station, it wasn't hard to find the bus pictured. The guide was kind and cheerfully explained a lot of information, and I was able to learn a lot. You can choose to enter the three monasteries by paying an admission fee, or not, it's optional. I recommend visiting the last monastery, St. Stephen's. It was nice that we stopped at several spots to take pictures along the way. Lunch was delicious, and water was provided after arriving in Meteora, so it's a good idea to bring water to drink before that.

The tour guide was most helpful. the Keytours was also helpful in guiding where to meet when we reached. Be warned there is a hill to climb but it’s worth.

Our guide Riki is super nice and professional. She is familiar with history and stories of Meteora. We also had plenty of time to take pictures. Another credit goes to the coach driver, he is very professional coz the hillside is super difficult to handle especially when it is a large coach. However, the registration is not smooth, since Klook doesn’t provide any QR code, the staff took a bit long time to register for us in the morning. Recommend to book with Sights of Athens directly.

Simply breathtaking. The audio guide gave some interesting context to what you are looking at. There are two entrances at the north and south slopes respectively. The ticket let's you enter at any point in the hour following your booking. Make sure to bring water and head protection as there is little shade on the hill itself. As someone who spends a lot of time at historical sites, the visit took me around 1h30m.

I joined a cruise tour with hotel pickup that visited Hydra, Poros, and Aegina in that order. The cruise ship was a luxurious, three-story vessel. After touring Hydra, there was a buffet-style lunch. The stay on each island was about 1 to 1.5 hours. About half the time was spent traveling from island to island. It was quite hot on the roof deck, but it was enjoyable with the musical performances. It was a satisfying day.

the bus driver was very helpful during our trip loved these buses.

It was a nice experience going around the city. This is for the blue line ~ good thing there wasn’t much traffic at the time.
