Description

Standing in the core of Greece is the collection of giant rocky pillars of Meteora. The perfect rugged playground for scenic rock climbing.

This mecca for mountain adventurers is fully protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And it’s not just because of its extreme natural beauty.

Resting atop of these large boulders that dominate the central plains is one of the largest complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, the first being built in 1336.

These breathtaking spiritual sites hints at the name of the region. Meteora can be translated as a place suspended in the air, which graphically shows the essence of this special place.

The stunning sandstone rocks provide quality rock climbing opportunities, and depending on your own level of experience and skill, we can discover the ideal route for you.

Beginners will be taught basic climbing techniques, while competent climbers will be shown the more secretive spots and demanding routes of Meteora.

This rock climbing trip will last for approximately 2 hours, and is also open to children aged above 7 years old.

Get in touch now to reserve your place in the majestic climbing mecca of Meteora for 2 hours of rock climbing in central Greece.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
