Kastraki, Kastraki, Greece At the bottom of the Holy Meteora Rocks and not far from Kalambaka is located Kastraki (translated as small castle in Greek). This picturesque village took its name from a small Byzantine castle, whose ruins are still saved today.
Saint Nicholas Monastery, Kalambaka, Greece The Monastery of Saint Nicholas of Anapafsas is literally suspended in air on a small rock and is the first monastery that we meet on our way from Kastraki village to the stone forest of Holy Meteora. 20 minutes
Roussanou Monastery, Kalambaka, Greece The Roussanou Monastery, also known as Arsani, stands on top of an impressive vertical and steep cliff of Meteora, between the Monasteries of Saint Nicholas Anapafsas and Varlaam. 60 minutes
Great Meteoron Monastery, Kalambaka, Greece The Monastery of Great Meteoron or Transfiguration of Christ, expresses the greatness and history of the Holy Meteora, as it is the oldest and most important monastery. 60 minutes
Varlaam Monastery, Kalambaka, Greece The Varlaam Monastery or Monastery of All the Saints is located on an imposing rock exactly opposite of the Great Meteoron and it is the second largest monastery of Meteora. 60 minutes
Holy Trinity Monastery (Agia Triada), Kalambaka, Greece The Monastery of the Holy Trinity is the third oldest monastery in Meteora and is the most difficult to reach, since visitors should cross a downhill path and then ascend 145 steps carved into the rock. It is said that the first hermits used a rope ladder and a net to build it and they spent 70 years to carry the all the materials needed. 20 minutes

Very comprehensive tour with stops to all the monasteries and entrance to 3 of 6 with a great guide with much insight into the history of the place. Ideal planning with stops for photos and visits to the monasteries alternatively. A morning really well spent! Extra points to our nice, helpful and experienced driver!
