IN THE SHADE OF METEORA When visitors arrive in Kalambaka, they gaze at the majestic monasteries built on the impressive peaks of the rocks. The town of the 8.330 residents is “obliged” to live in the shade of Meteora, as it is the gate to the monastic complex, however, de- serves a lot of attention on its own! Kalambaka is not only charming, but also rich in history and important monuments. The town, built on the left side of Pineios riv- er, impresses the visitors due to the beauty of its landscapes and the large number of accommodation, food and fun options. Beautiful hotels with modern amenities, restaurants offering traditional tastes, tourist shops and everything that can make your stay at a blessed place complete. 75
