Points of Interest
Fully constructed inside a large cavity of a rock, this monastery is very indicative of its kind, compared to the ones that are usually seen on the peaks of rocks. You can see this monastery near the end of the trail.
Located at the end of the trail, this is the statue of a hore of the Greek Revolution. It is also an amazing place to rest and check the view.
Deep inside the forest you will encounter the church dedicated to Virgin Marry "Kanaliotissa", which belongs to the Monastery of Great Meteoron. There is tap water there.
