Day 4:
We took a $15 4hr-long train ride from Thessaloniki to Trikala,which served as the base of our trip to Meteora.
In Trikala we rented a car for $25 a day and then we drove to Meteora.The monasteries aren't fully accesible by car so we had to do a mixture of driving and hiking to get there.The entrance fee for most of them was $5 and my favourite was Varlaam.We spent about an hour in the ones we visited and there weren't much tourists as we were not in the peak season.The monasteries themselves are mesmerising and the views they offer even more so.We ended the day with a nice sunset at the Psaropetra viewpoint before heading back to Trikala for the night.
Patral castle is sooo beautiful, will visit.
I have always to go to Greece! Never knew about Patras Castle. Your itinerary will be a helpful guide!
