While it's hard to not be sad when you leave the island life behind, we have a feeling where you head next will make you do a happy dance. Travel to Kalambaka, the town next to Meteora via public bus and enjoy free time to explore the magnificent Monasteries.

Perched on insanely high cliffs there are six still available for visiting. They were built on these immense natural pillars and hill-rounded boulders and make for a once-in-a-lifetime sight. See as many as you can and try not to succumb to a fear of heights.
In the evening, you may want to relax in your hostel, play some games as a group, and show off those epic photos you took.

Meals included: Breakfast

Exclusive inclusions: Transport - Get to the next spot on your route aboard a convenient and efficient ferry boat.Transport - Climb aboard, grab a seat, and enjoy the ride.Activity - Explore the spectacular “hanging” monasteries of Meteora, perched atop pinnacles of rock. Meteora translates to ‘suspended in the air’, which describe the seemingly precarious placement of these historic, sacred structures built at 613m (2011 ft) above sea level. Take a private bus up to see the several monasteries in the area, built before any roads or settlements existed in the area. Entrance to one monastery is included, but you will have time to purchase additional tickets if you want to gaze inside more.Accommodation - Hotel Edelweiss

The trip was impeccably planned from the start. Clear explanations and detailed planning on day zero made everything smooth. The people were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout. I thoroughly enjoy the concept of group trips like this.
