Hotel Kaikis
About this hotel
Set in the town of Kalabaka itself rather than Kastraki, this family-run hotel gives each room a furnished balcony with views of the Meteora rocks and the Pindos Mountains beyond. Rooms are bright and air-conditioned, with en-suite bathrooms, an LCD TV, iron, safety box and mini fridge. The hotel's restaurant serves traditional Greek cuisine for lunch, with a bar for drinks and coffee, and room service runs around the clock. The monastery area is within a kilometre of the property, close enough for an early start without a long drive, while Trikala sits twenty kilometres further for travellers extending the trip. Free on-site parking covers arrivals by car, and the family running the property tend to know the monastery bus and taxi schedule better than most, useful for guests planning a first visit without a rental car of their own.
