Kalambaka -- September 15

We got up very early for our arranged taxi to take us from Bitola across the border into Greece and on to Kalambaka to visit the monasteries at Meteora. Transport across the border is tricky here, so we were advised the arranged taxi is the way to go. Friendly Dimitar and Biljana met us at 6am for the trip to Gre...

Our guide book mentioned they are closed daily from 2:00-3:00pm but I guess they changed this recently to 1:30-3:00pm. We arrived at 1:00pm and the nu...
