Itinerary

Day 1: Meteora

Stop At: Meteora, Kastraki, Kalambaka 422 00 Greece
Located in central Greece near the town of Kalambaka, Meteora, meaning suspended in the air, is a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage as was characterised by UNESCO. This geological rock formation occurred about 60 millions of years ago in the Paleogene period. A breathtaking landscape of columns of rock accommodate a complex of orthodox monasteries perched on top of the hills, six of which still function today. They were once only accessible using ladders tied together or large nets but nowadays they are accessible by hundreds of staircases and pathways and have many visitors all year round.

Day 2: Trikala

Stop At: Lake Plastira, Krioneri 43067 Greece
The idea for this lake was from a local man who also remained as a prime minister for Greece and was finally completed in 1960. The water from this artificial lake transformed to energy from a nearby hydroelectric unit. Apart from this use, nowadays it has become a beautiful tourist attraction.
