In this article I’ll tell you about the stop at the Agios Nikolaos Monastery in Meteora (Ιερά Μονή Αγίου Νικολάου Αναπαυσά Μετεώρων) during the journey to discover Greece and Turkey both with and without a cruise.
To start getting an idea of the places and views that I was able to admire, I invite you to watch the video below containing the most significant images of this experience.
How to reach the Meteora?
After exploring the island of Aegina (Αίγινα) (find out the article here) and returning by ferry to Piraeus to take the train “From Athens to Kalambaka with Hellenic Train” (find out the article here), I reached Kalambaka (Καλαμπάκα) (find out the article here), nearest support city for visiting the Meteora area (Μετέωρα) (find out the article here).
In the direction of Agios Nikolaos Monastery
After leaving the city of Kalambaka (Καλαμπάκα) and passing the town of Kastraki (Καστράκι), the walk continues on the main road which allows you to reach most of the monasteries in the area. Or, at least, it allows you to see them in the distance 😛

The journey continues…
The next stop on the journey is “Varlaam Monastery in Meteora” (Ιερά Μονή Βαρλαάμ) (find out the article here).
To find out about all the monasteries that I have admired and photographed/filmed, I invite you to take a look at the in-depth article “Monasteries of Meteora” (find out the article here).
