A pre-Christmas day trip that combines a hike in Meteora with the festive atmosphere of Trikala: one day, two different experiences. The hike is a circular route of about 7 km, about 3 hours with +/-370 m, among the UNESCO World Heritage rocks of Meteora, with breathtaking views, past the Great Meteoron monastery (open that day, with time to visit it) and the hidden Monastery of Ypapanti. Suitable for beginners in very good physical shape. Afterwards the group heads down to Trikala for free time: traditional food in the town's tavernas and/or a visit to the Mill of the Elves (Mylos ton Xotikon), Greece's biggest Christmas theme park. Coach from the Agios Antonios metro station in Peristeri at about 07:00 (approximate), back at about 22:00 (approximate). The €59 includes the coach (driver's meal, fuel and tolls), mountain guides who graduated from a guide school and are trained in first aid, guides' expenses, a first-aid kit, civil liability insurance, photos and 24% VAT. Places are limited; online booking closes on 4 December. The order of the programme may change with the weather or other unforeseen conditions. Be at the meeting point 10 minutes early: the coach leaves on time. Bring a windbreaker, a waterproof, a backpack, a personal first-aid kit, at least 1.5 L of water, a light snack and hiking boots (equipment list: https://activetravelersingreece.com/equipment/; grading: https://activetravelersingreece.com/difficulty-level/).
