Meteora

2 things to see

Meteora’s cliff-top monasteries are among the most dramatic sights in Greece, with free hiking trails winding between the rock pillars and the town of Kalabaka offering budget accommodation below. Walking the footpaths and viewpoints costs nothing, and the monasteries themselves charge only a small entry fee, so a couple of full days here stays cheap. Kalabaka sits on the train line from Athens and Thessaloniki, making it an easy budget add-on to a wider Greece trip. Spring and autumn bring milder hiking weather and thinner crowds than high summer.

Meteora Monasteries

The Meteora monasteries sit on top of massive sandstone pillars in central Greece, six active monasteries perched on rock towers that seem to defy gravity. Entry to each monastery is a small fee.
