Just came back from 15 day cruise that ended in Athens. Me and my wife took your advice and visited some of the sites you recommended in your previous videos. You were spot on! Enjoyed our visit very much! Athens is one city everyone should experience at least once in there lifetime!

This is the BEST video about Meterora, you have just answered any question that came to my mind. Thank you

[RiniDutt]

I guess, a lot of people have said this but your videos Sebestian are the best on Greece for people who are planning a trip to Greece. Super concise, sharing all relevant information without any fancy frills and adjectives. Simply great!

Another wonderful and informative video. I did the 2 day with Delphi and Meteora. We only saw 2 monasteries- St. Stephens and St. Barbara’s. St. Stephens was not as strict on the dress code as St. Barbara’s. At St. Barbara’s, the nuns were selling long scarves/pashminas to both men and women for €30. You were not allowed into St. Barbara’s if you didn’t have the skirt or long pants and didn’t buy the scarf/pashmina.

I visited Meteora last month, monastery of St. Stephen and monastery of St. Barbara (aka Rousanou). They did allow guided tour groups, our guide explained every painting on the monasteries' walls. Quite a trip, surreal natural views, will never forget it!

Update: devastating floods have rendered the trains inoperable. Tour operators have switched to using buses. The drive is about 5 hours from Athens, but there is a stop along the way (to and from) where you can buy food, drinks, go to the bathroom and stretch your legs. Because of the length of the ride, I would recommend you take a two-day tour. We got in a wonderful Sunset Tour when we arrived, and a wonderful guided hike the next day. In between we enjoyed Kalambaka.

Sebastian, your videos are the best! They are by far the most informative of all and you make them super engaging and fun as well. My wife and I are on a 2-week trip to Greece, including Athens, Delphi, Meteora and three islands. We relied predominantly on your videos to learn all about Greece, the best places to visit, and the extensive advice you provided regarding local sights to see, hotels, rental cars, food, customs, prices and such. Really awesome! I've passed on the link to your YouTube channel to some of my friends who're planning on visiting Greece in the future.

Hi! A colleague recommended me your videos to help my plan my trip to Greece. And I find them very useful and to the point!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[radders]

loved it! I got a train from my solo travel to Athens, then ran to all the monasteries for a day, then the next I did the famous Meteora trail run. Any runners out there, the Meteora trail run is the best trail run I've ever done, and you should use the opportunity to do it. It's not easy but i was still able to get drunk both nights and enjoy the other things!

[marylennon]

I love how well you explain things! Thank you!

[sahils]

Thank you so much for this video. I was eagerly waiting for a video on Meteora. We are visiting in late May and this is really helpful!

[wagherbert]

I did this same tour just over a week ago...it was pouring rain and windy, but it was still amazing! The train also has a restaurant car.

[nikosniko]

Was waiting for this! Great timing. - cheers

I’m taking a 2 week trip in Greece and I’m going to Meteora tomorrow and I’m really excited. My mom told me about the strict rules and didn’t bring long skirts. Great job by the way I subscribed!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[ShadowSolaris]

Awesome! I'll be going to Greece in June (including Meteora) and it was quite helpful. All your content about Athens and Santorini helped me a lot as well. I'm always looking forward to your videos to help me plan my trip :) Looking forward to your video on Delphi! I'd also be curious to hear about your tips for other destinations, such as Naxos and Thessaloniki!

[judys]

I am going to visit Greece for 10 days in May. Your videos are very useful. Hope to see more videos about Athens coming soon 😊

[msmargiek]

You explain things so well, thanks you so much.. I am learning so much about your beautiful country. We are coming in May.. We are spending three days in Meteora. Hoping we can catch the bus to get between monasteries.

I went here with my GF, we rented a car from Escape Car Rentals near Plaka, for super cheap, 48 euros with full insurance coverage, gas wasn’t too bad and tolls came up to max 25-30 euros, I’d say renting a car is way better option with more freedom rather than tour bus, worked for us great and wasn’t as costly compared to a tour

[shruthiv]

Perfect presentation of the info as always 👌👌👌
