When to go to Meteora (Kalambaka)?
Grey pinnacles rise straight out of the Thessalian plain at Meteora, and on top of them sit Orthodox monasteries reached by stairways cut into the rock. The Great Meteoron is the largest; Roussanou and Varlaam are the ones photographed from the road below. Footpaths thread between the towers, which is the best way to grasp the scale of the place.
