    The trip to Meteora was an unforgettable experience, the monasteries in the mountains are a must see. The train was comfortable, but what I really liked was the tranquillity of the place, it felt like we were in another world.

    The views of Meteora are simply breathtaking and the organisation of the tour was impeccable, however, the train journey felt a little long.
