Things to do in Benaki Museum

Great value for money, with beautiful and comfortable scenery. Although the drive was long, the driver was steady, and the local guide explained the attractions clearly and took excellent care of the travelers, even proactively helping everyone take photos! Their smiles and attitudes were excellent. Highly commendable. The lunch break provided midway was a bit rushed, but the food quality was good. The only drawback was that the Wi-Fi on the tour bus wasn't working that day.

Meet at the station at 7:45 AM. There will be several tour buses parked there. Look for the bus with "VISIT METEORA" on the side. Confirm your name with the driver to board. The tour guide will appear in Kalambaka. You will visit a total of three monasteries (you will only find out which three on the day, as the monasteries rotate closures) and three or four photo spots. The itinerary is very smooth. You will return to the station at approximately 10:30 PM. It's a super packed day. Five-star rating!

Meteora is a place where getting there is a problem, but visiting the monasteries is nearly impossible without renting a car, so I thought taking a tour was the answer. The four-hour one-way trip was really tough, and many monasteries close at 2 PM in winter, so even though I was told we would visit three, we could only actually enter two. However, since my stamina isn't great, I probably would have skipped one even if we could have entered three, so visiting only two wasn't a problem. If I visit again, I'd like to visit on a tour of one night or more rather than a day trip. I recommend a tour of one night or more to others who will see this review. There is no problem with viewing the monasteries because you move along an efficient route, but the time spent there was too short to feel Meteora's reverent atmosphere.

love itttt willl definitely fo back when i get a chance to! guide was good, able to give recommendations and explains stories as well. very good job

very nice experience. worth the money. highly recommended.

it is a long journey but the views spectacular. There are steps to climb but not that tough. there is ample time for each visit. Better to opt for package with lunch as there are no other restaurants available at the pit stop. and keep checking prices - as I manned to cancel and book one with lunch at just nominal increase. otherwise it’s at least 15-20 euro . the monastery will hand off scarves/ skirts for ladies even you wear long pants. lastly perhaps it’s not peak , finding the right buses at gather point is not as choatic as others experienced. Driver drives safely. Guide is friendly.

need to download an app and your ticket and audio is in there. actually since I like listening to the explanation and take pictures, halfway through the tour I ended up missing the timing from the audio as I was busy taking pictures.

It's a very worthwhile place to visit, but the entrance fee in winter is 20 euros, not the 5 euros that was stated.
