About
This wonder of nature would be worth visiting just for the picturesque landscape even if the monasteries weren't there. The thing is that they are. The old Greek Monasteries blend in perfectly with the surrounding environment creating a once in a lifetime sensation. It is my most popular tour(more than 100 times a year)and there is a good reason for that.
During the ride I will explain a lot about geology,history, orthodox religion,and the impact Meteora has had on Greece over the centuries.We will also talk about Greece and the Greek way of life.
Since I've been doing this for so many years, I know the best traditional local restaurants, I know where are the best stops, where to go, we will visit the spots that are "off the map" for the majority of tourists, for you to take the best photos that you would otherwise miss, and to give you an unforgettable experience.
The tour is fully customizable and can be tailored in your needs.
Most travelers usually visit 2 or even 3 monasteries.

Itinerary
- 1We pick you up! We have an almost 100-minute ride till we get to Meteora an optional short stop at a local icon workshop (10-20mins) Agios Stefanos is the one that has the easiest access Great Meteoron is the biggest of them all, (400 steps are involved) Roussanou Nunnery and Agios Nikolaos Anapafsas monasteries are small monasteries, both outstanding choices. Varlaam Monastery (closed on Thursdays and Fridays) is the one with the best view Of course, all of the open monasteries are good choices. Many people prefer not to take all those monastery steps (100-400 depending on the monastery) if that's the case we spend more time taking photos. So you can always decide on the spot what suits you best. Most people visit 2 monasteries, but if you decide to visit more it is not a problem for us. The scenery is outstanding and till now for every passenger, we've transferred an experience of a lifetime. optional: lunch or dinner at a traditional local restaurant
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- DonavanL0 contributionsNot a tour as much as a drivePelion train station and track walk was meh. View point of Volos was outstanding. Drivers were not guides. Just drivers. The tour could have been compressed to much less time.Written 13 October 2024
- 847marielised0 contributionsφοβερόςI had an amazing day! Could not recommend more, they really want to make you happy! And is so thoughtful to give some postcards at the end, keeping the details for my next trip to Volos as will book with them againWritten 30 March 2024
- M5656ZHdonnac0 contributionsProfessional and Prompt Transfer & Tour ServiceNikos promptly responded to our inquiry for transport from Piraeus Port and Volos Port, over a week in advance. He quickly gave us our options and very fair price quote. His brother, Kostis, met us at Piraeus Port on time, and communicated with us to ensure we were able to meet him as soon as possible. Our ride to Volos Port was very pleasant and Kostis is a great host and travel companion. I wish we could have stopped along to the way to visit some of the significant historical sites--and we will in the future! We will definitely book transport or tours with Nikos and his crew next time.Written 30 June 2023
- markolenin0 contributionsAthens airport to Volos Port minivan serviceWe traveled as a group of 3 couples. The driver was waiting for us holding a sign at the Athens airport. The drive to Volos was with a new mercedes minivan. Our driver was really fluent and knowledgeable and was willing to provide useful information regarding Volos and things to do in the area. We were offered complimentary bottles of water and sodas as well. A very enjoyable experience overall, totally recommended at a fair price!Written 21 May 2023
- basiai20230 contributionsPelion Tour From VolosWe had a 10 hour Tour. Definately The Best day of our Tour. During the Tour our driver told us that their goal is to help passengers create memories.

- X5015AP_0 contributionsVolos to Athens minivan transferWe, a family of six used Volos Transfers and tours for our transfer from Volos to Athens with a Mercedes Minivan. The car was new, super clean and very comfortable. The driver Nikolas speaks English like a native speaker (besides the accent of course), he is very knowledgeable, polite and friendly. We cannot recommend this service highly enough. I strongly believe that everybody who visits volos should use volos transfers and tours for their transfer from Volos or to Volos. We will definitely use them again next year. 5 stars are not too many.Written 1 May 2023

We had a breathtaking trip to Meteora from Volos with our guide Kostis. He not only took us to the six main monasteries for which Meteora is well known, but also to two “secret” monasteries built into the cliff walls that few people know about. He was extremely flexible and built the schedule around our preferences. If you go to Greece, you must go to Meteora! It is truly one of the world’s most unique and amazing places. And Volos transfers and tours is the best way to get there! This was the best day of our trip.

THE BEST Tour in Volos!!! We came into Volos on our cruise and thought we had signed up for the ship tour to see the Meteora Monasteries, but hadn't, and I'm so glad we didn't!! We called nak - Volos Transfers & Tours and Nikos took us for an AMAZING day of not only seeing the Monasteries, but information about the history of the areas we were passing, history of the Monasteries, the best photo ops, hidden gems, delicious Gyros, and great conversation!!! Nikos is FANTASTIC!! If you want an incredible day while you're in Volos, definitely give them a call!!
