Kalabaka

Few towns in Thessaly have a history as closely tied to the Orthodox monasteries of Meteora as Kalambaka. The town stands beneath Meteora’s immense sandstone and conglomerate pillars, whose sheer faces became refuges for hermits and later sites for monastic communities. Most of the surviving monasteries date from the 14th to 16th centuries, and six remain in religious use today. Meteora has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988, recognised for both its geology and its Byzantine artistic legacy.
