We’ll also be exploring Kalambaka, the city that presides over the entrance to the Meteora. Having been reduced to ashes by the Nazis during the Second World War, it currently comprises predominantly recent structures. Despite not being particularly alluring on its own, the town is situated right opposite some magnificent rock outcrops, bestowing it with a spectacular backdrop.
