Six of the original 24 monasteries have been preserved. We will visit two of them. Meteora, which means "hanging in the air", is famous for the Olympus Mountain where the gods once lived and the amazing Medeola Monastery. These monasteries are located at the top of huge mountains and rocks, some of which are more than 400 meters long, rising from the vast Sesaria Plain. The monastery is specially registered as a composite heritage of "culture" and "nature" by UNESCO. Before the 20th century, there was no road to the mountain. For centuries, monks have been hanging up and down the mountain with ropes and bamboo baskets. The episode of "Golden Eye" in the 007 series was shot in the Meteora Grand Meteoron Monastery, which is known as the "City of the Sky".

Paid upgrade to cliff hotel: Hotel Goulielmos or Blue Dolphin Hotel or Pearl on the Cliff or similar

Cliff Hotel Tips:

Cliff Hotel is a collective name for hotels located in different cliff areas of the Holy Island. The cliffs represent the geographical location. It does not mean that the hotel must be built on the edge of the cliff, nor does it mean that all rooms in the hotel can see the cliff view. The scale of the cliff hotel is limited. Therefore, the travel agency arranges the hotel in the cliff area. Most of the hotels are small and the rooms are simply furnished. The cliff hotel area is basically a stepped stone road. Parking is prohibited in front of the hotel and guests need to walk into the store with hand luggage. The walk takes about 10-20 minutes. The clientele of the cliff hotel is mainly for couples. Due to the geographical location, many cliff hotels are reluctant to accept children for safety reasons.

Join us for another amazing day as we take you to visit the capital town of Fira! Enjoy the beauty of this city and explore all that it has to offer! Or take part in the Santorini island tour (about 5 hours) and the Santorini catamaran sailing (about 5 hours, at least 8 people per boat) at your own expense.

In the afternoon, we will take a plane to Athens (Including the air ticket). The flight time is approximately 45 minutes.

After breakfast, we will depart from the hotel at about 07:15 and go to the pier to board a cruise ship. We will sail to the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea and visit three little islands - Aegina, Poros and Hydra. After enjoying a Greek buffet on board, then we will return to Athens.

Itinerary:

Athens → Aegean Three Islands Tour: Aegina (2 hours) & Poros (50 mins) & Hydra (1.5 hours) → Athens

Special Note:

In case of insufficient members for the three-island tour, or other special reasons such as overhaul of the big ship, the ship company will replace the big ship with a small boat and arrange guests to have lunch on the island. Also, the song and dance performance on the original three-island cruise will be cancelled.
