Kastraki

Highlight • Settlement

The small village of Kastraki lies next to Kalambaka, nestled beneath some of Meteora's massive rock formations. One of the two roads leading to the monasteries passes through the village, as the first monastery on the way up is the Monastery of Agios Nikolaos Anapafs, very close to the last houses of Kastraki.
Kastraki offers many hotels and guesthouses, most of which are built in the traditional, old style. There are also many taverns around the village square and directly on the road to Meteora. If you're looking for somewhere to eat in the area, Kastraki is much more convenient than Kalambaka, as you don't have to search for parking and there are numerous taverns to choose from within a short radius.
