Directions....
 Driving from Trikala to Kalampaka, just before the town entrance, turn right to the way that leads to Meteora - there is a sign (just opposite a petrol
station of EKO) After 2.5 kilometers you can see the guesthouse on the right
side of the street. From there you can be in the Meteora monasteries in less
than 5 minutes. Also in 5 minutes you can be in the town of Kalampaka (if you
want to look around or visit the Byzantine temple of the 11th century). Meteora is about a 5 and a half hour drive from Athens so be sure you leave early to give yourself enough time to arrive while it is still daylight. The roads from Athens are well marked in English and easy to follow.
For those who come
from Ioannina, after you pass the town of Kalampaka, at the town exit, you
should turn to the left to the way that leads to Meteora.
You will come as a guest and leave as a friend. With the guest house as a starting point you can discover the surrounding area, with daily excursions and visit Lake Plastira, Pertouli, Metsovo and the villages of Aspropotamos as well as the amazing monasteries of Meteora which are literally right in the backyard.
