Transfiguration Monastery

The Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Great Meteora Metamorphosis or as it is also known, was founded in 1380 by Athanasius and it is the biggest in the whole area. For me, during my trip to Greece, it was the one I was most drawn to. It comes from the town of Kalambaka walking down the road to Kastraki. I found that about 3 km of it is part of the Meteora (monasteries, that as this was built back in the fourteenth century, on these peaks that rise like pillars along the river valley in the region Pinios Thesalía, province Trikala, north of the town of Kalambaka). A staircase leads to the tower of the old Vrizones where there are some forklifts.
