Full description
Take a tour from Kalabaka into the woods around Meteora, beginning at approximately 10:00 AM at the Meteora Museum. Take your car or a taxi to follow the truffle hunting crew. Walk with the truffle hunter and his dogs to search for rare kinds of truffle. Specially trained truffle dogs with their trainer are searching for this unique fruit of Greek nature. Learn about the kind of truffles that exist here and how they can be used. At around 11:30 AM, taste an exceptional truffle past dish in the forest. This dish will be cooked by an expert chef in an impressive cooking pan that can accommodate 50 people. After the end of truffle hunting, head to the museum. Be guided around both the natural history museum and the unique mushroom museum.

As a first experience, it was interesting watching the dog Lara hunt for truffles and learning about how the truffles grow in the forest and how the dogs are trained to find them. We also enjoyed the delicious truffle pasta dish and tasting the sweet mushroom desert. The only critique I have is the cost is based on having a party of 10 and there wasn’t flexibility from the operator to put together a group of 10, so for 2 people, I think it was pretty expensive for what is offered.
