The tour will take place in a minibus, and together with your guide, you will take in the breathtaking views and the imposing atmosphere of the monasteries. You will visit the hermitage caves of Badova and two monasteries, while you will also make regular stops at the best vantage points to take photos of the incredible scenery.
At the agreed time, you will be transferred back to Kalambaka train station for your return trip to Thessaloniki, changing first at Paleo Farsalo.
