airport transfer is available or not?

The trip that you are interested in does not offer any pick up service. For all our clients, the shared transfers from Athens with our shuttle bus has a specific meeting point in Athens, conveniently located across the street from the Larisis train station in Athens at 8am. Please all participants should be present at the exit of the Larissa metro/subway station on Deligianni str by 07:45am. You can reach the meeting point by taking the red line metro/subway. Otherwise, taxis, Uber app and the Greek alternative Free now app are also helpful.

What dates in June 2026 is this 3 day tour starting from Athens?

The trip is offered every day! Feel free to book!

Do you recommend this tour instead? How difficult is the hiking and how fast of a walk will this tour require?

Meteora monasteries require the use of stairs in order to reach them. Most of the monasteries have lots of stairs, which may prove difficult for your mother. On day 1, you participate on the sunset tour, which does not require any stairs since the monastery we visit is the monastery of St Stephen, the most accessible one. The next day you get to choose between either the hiking tour (4.5 hrs in total the duration of the activity, about 7km in total walking distance and 200m the elevation gain), or the sightseeing tour where you enter inside 3 monasteries.

The starting point is confusing since the tour begins in Athens at the Athens 'Larissa' Railway Station at 07:20 am... Yet, the tour operator is saying something else...

The tour starts in Athens, where you will catch the morning train to Kalambaka at 7:57am. We will meet you in Kalampaka when you arrive to take you to your hotel.

Should we take the train or rent a car and drive? If we take the train, is there a train which leaves Kalambaka earlier than 17-18:00? I am a little concerned about arriving back to Athens very late

It depends on your preferences if you will take a car or travel by train. The package includes round-trip train tickets. There is a train that departs from Kalampaka at 9:30 am, you switch trains in Paleofarsalos and arrive in Athens at 13:03. The next train departs from Kalampaka at 13:22, you switch trains in Paleofarsalos and arrive in Athens approximately at 17:30.
