Travel to Kalambaka, a good base for visiting the monasteries of Meteora.

Take a bus up to see several monasteries in the area situated at 613m (2011 ft) above sea level, on a precipitous rock pinnacle. The day is yours to choose which monasteries to visit or perhaps take a hike in the scenic local area.

• Opt to climb to the Acronafplia and Palamidi Fortresses. The views from the top are phenomenal.
