Meteora overnight trip from Athens

[Host Jazzbeau]

Considering an overnight trip to Meteora from Athens post-cruise in 2022.  Two possibilities so far:

•  train package with VisitMeteora [cheaper and more time in Meteora]

https://www.visitmeteora.travel/package/two-days-rail-tour-to-meteora-from-athens/

•  van package [includes Delphi but less time in Meteora] with CATTaxi

https://cattaxi.rezdy.com/374775/delphi-meteora-from-athens-2days-1night

 

Have seen reviews of CATTaxi.  Anyone done the VisitMeteora version?  Other ideas?  [Don't suggest renting a car – those days are over for us...]

Have you been to Delphi?  

Why don't you ask CatTours (or George's Taxi, or others) how much it would be to add one extra night in Meteora.  Then you can see all the monasteries and maybe take that sunset tour.  On the way back do have them stop at Thermopylae.

We did exactly this with Michael’s taxi and had a very good experience and overnight in Meteora.  I would recommend two nights in Meteora if possible,   One was not quite enough.   
Delphi is worth a visit or two!

Thanks for the replies.  Currently thinking of doing the Delphi & Meteora 2 day/1 night tour with pick-up at ship in Piraeus and drop-off at hotel in Athens.

 

What hotel did you folks use for Meteora?  [CatTaxi mentions Amalia Hotel Kalambaka]

We used Iridanos hotel, it was arranged by our tour company,  Michael’s Greek Tours.   It was lovely and included a nice breakfast.  There was a local good restaurant next door and the following is our view.
