Begin your day with a morning departure from Corfu, with two convenient meeting points available (07.15am at San Rocco Square or 07.30am behind the ticket booths at Corfu Port).
Cross to the mainland by ferry and continue your journey in comfort by coach, V-Class minivan, or Limo Sprinter, enjoying beautiful landscapes along the way, until reaching the majestic rock formations of Meteora.
Visit the Monastery of Agios Stefanos, dramatically perched atop the rocks, and discover the history, spirituality, and unique geological significance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. We intentionally include one monastery visit, allowing you to fully experience its atmosphere without rushing.
Continue with a scenic drive through the Meteora rocks, including several photo stops and a pass by Varlaam Monastery for panoramic views and optional photo opportunities.
After exploring Meteora, enjoy a traditional Greek lunch at a local tavern, followed by some free time in Kalambaka (approximately 30–40 minutes) before beginning the return journey to Corfu.
According to the ferry schedules, the departure time from the Port of Igoumenitsa to Corfu ranges between 20:45 and 21:15. Therefore, the estimated arrival time at the Port of Corfu is between 22:45 and 23:15.

The round-trip takes a very long time, but you know that beforehand. There are sufficient breaks. There is enough time to visit the two selected monasteries. There are two more photo stops to view the monasteries from a distance. If you want to avoid the hassle of making the trip yourself with a rental car and a ferry, this is a very nice alternative. The lunch at a clean restaurant tasted good. The bus driver and tour guide were very friendly and helpful.

Despite an early start it was a well organised day. The visit to Meteora was incredible, breathtaking and unbelievable. Agios Stefanos was small but beautiful, this is the monastery included in the tour. We also stopped at Varlaam the second largest monastery. My sister and did not visit Varlaam instead we walked around the area taking photos. Although the day was long it was most enjoyable.
