THE “ENTRANCE” OF METEORA Although the town functions for most visitors as the point of entrance to Mete- ora, is in itself of special tourist interest, since it is picturesque, full of taverns, lit- tle shops, hotels, whatever you need for a pleasant stay! A walk in the old town, a visit to the only woodcarving school in Greece or to the traditional copper- smiths’ shops, where you will find handmade copper products, are enough to make you see that Kalambaka is many more than just a “gate” to Meteora! 65
