Where to Stay in Kalambaka and Kastraki

Greece › Best Hotels near Meteora
by Santorini Dave • Updated: November 29, 2021

Kalambaka (also spelled Kalabaka) and Kastraki are the two closest towns to the stunning Meteora Monasteries. The train station and bus station are both in Kalambaka, so if you’re coming from Athens this is the easiest place to find a hotel, but you will need a local bus or taxi to get from Kalambaka to the Meteora (or Kastraki). Both towns have restaurants and hotels but Kalambaka is the commercial hub and bustles with a little more activity. If charm is what you’re after then Kastraki wins hands-down. All of the hotels listed below are within a short walk of several restaurants and put you within easy access to the monasteries.
