Meteora were actually the reason we wanted to come to Greece. And I can say that they are really amazing! Pictures can not describe those half natural half human creatures, you have to climb it, you have to see it!
Just be careful of opening hours, every monastery has a different one. Women has to wear skirt to enter, but they provide something what you can wrap around you in case you are in trousers. Entrance fee is quite ok (2 euros), but it is really a pity that all those monks and nouns do not organise a guided tour to learn something more about their history. They could really do something more than selling entrance tickets.
It was durning orthodox Easter time, so we were a bit afraid that we will not find any place to sleep. But there are so many hotels, camp sites and rooms that it was not a question at all. I suggest to sleep in Kalambaka, as in the evening there is nothing to do in Kastraki. Meteora are not illuminated, so at night it is nothing special. It is better to go to sleep and wake up early, as the Meteoras are really beautiful to see with the sun waking up. It is a beautiful place for people who like nature and relax.
