Many visitors to the Olympus Riviera do not realise that Meteora — one of the wonders of Greece — is only about two hours away by car through the beautiful Tempe valley and the plain of Thessaly.
A private day trip means you choose the rhythm: an early start to beat the crowds, two or three monasteries, lunch in Kalampaka or Kastraki under the rocks, and the best photo viewpoints at golden hour on the way back.
Because the route passes near Larissa and Tempe, we can also add stops — the Agia Paraskevi chapel in the Tempe gorge is a favourite. Door-to-door pickup from your hotel makes it an effortless day.
