Kalambaka Review

Access to Medella is usually from the town of Karambaka, with many restaurants and cafes on the main road in the town center. After eating here, you can take the bus straight to Medella.

The town of Karambaka is beautiful. The railway station is located and the main distribution center for tourists, and a variety of hotels, restaurants, shops, visitor centers and travel agencies that provide day trip products are also here.

There are many restaurants, hotels and shops in Karambaka. A typical European town, located under the strange rock. Metioula cannot provide accommodation, so this is the main place to visit Metioula.

"The more dangerous, the more scenic, the more the monastery is located." In the Greek town of Karambaka, we have a glimpse into the mysterious monastery life. The town is more than 200 kilometers from Athens, and there is a train to and from Athens every day, which takes five hours to walk one way. When the train stopped, we were speechless astonished more than twenty boulders were emerging from the vast plain of Thessalia.

After getting off the train station on the platform, you can see the towering mountain rocks behind the Karambaka town area. It is very unique in the shape of the address and landform. The polished surface of the mountain rocks is particularly eye-catching in the sun. Some rocks stand on the top of the white cross. It is the site of the monastery known as the "City of the Sky". The monastery on the red roof is clearly visible on the top of the towering rocky top. Although the shape of the distant building is not large, it gives a shocking feeling from its location. According to the information, Medeola is famous for being built on a monastery like the boulder-like mountain top of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui or on the cliffs. Built between the 9th and 14th centuries, all of the buildings stood on the peaks of the peaks, and there was no way to climb the walls during the Middle Ages, which locals called the aerial monastery. Years have passed, but the monastery still maintains ancient features, with ancient relics such as ancient murals of holy images and sheepskin scrolls. It is not only a religious center, but also a center for scholars and artists. Today, only six monasteries remain open to visitors. Because the six monasteries closed for a full day at different times of the week, and only Saturday and Sunday were fully open, we had to arrange this trip for the weekend holiday.

Karabaka is known as the city of the sky, and is said to be built on the top of the mountain to escape the scourge of war. The mountains here are different from the mountains we usually see, but clusters are a bit similar to Zhangjiajie. Visiting the monastery has certain requirements for girls' dress, to wear long skirts, but some monastery entrances also have aprons to lend. From Athens, it is best to charter a car, and the sunset is really beautiful at the top of Karabaka.
