You'll start by heading to UNESCO-listed Meteora, a site where giant stone pillars shoot up from the plain and centuries‑old monasteries – some dating back to the 1300s – balance on their peaks. You'll step inside two of these sanctuaries to see historic wall paintings, candle‑lit chapels, artefact-filled museums and balconies overlooking the plains. After that, it's on to Kalambaka, the town at Meteora's foot, for lunch, coffee or a browse through its craft shops before the drive back to your accommodation.
