Overview: Car trip from Athens to Kalambaka

Visiting Athens will give you an authentic Greek experience with its vibrant nightlife, gorgeous beaches, mouth-watering cuisine, and immersive cultural and historical attractions. However, many lesser towns in Greece, like Kalambaka, are worth visiting. If you're planning to hit the road from Athens to Kalambaka, you've come to the right place to learn more about this beautiful town and how to get there with Daytrip.

With Daytrip, you'll have a safe way to travel to Kalambaka without the fuss of learning the route and navigating the roads leading into the town. This is one less worry that you have to contend with, and you can instead focus on your upcoming trip to one of the most beautiful places in Greece. Kalambaka is a destination rich in history with several extraordinary monuments and monasteries.

Yet, before you get to Kalambaka with Daytrip, why not add a few sightseeing stops to your trip? Our professional English-speaking drivers at Daytrip can take you to see the Archaeological Museum of Thebes, the historic UNESCO World Heritage Site of Delphi, the ancient castle of Lamia, and the Battle of the Thermopylae Museum. We might not be a tour company, but with us, you'll get to cross off a few of your travel bucket list items, including visiting Kalambaka.

About Kalambaka

Kalambaka might not be a beach town, but this doesn't make it any less beautiful, considering it's a tiny modern settlement close to Meteora and surrounded by staggering beauty and a backdrop of the Meteora rocks that border the northern part of the town's skyline. As a small town, it's unsurprising that only about 12,000 people live in it year-round, but Kalambaka does see thousands of travelers eager to take in its beauty every year.

Kalambaka is the capital of the district of Kalambaka. The town dates back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods, as can be evidenced by the town's former name, Eginio. Interestingly, during the 10th century, the town went by another name and was often called Stagi. But Kalambaka has much more to share with travelers historically and culturally than the history surrounding its name changes.

For example, those visiting Kalambaka should expect to be met with towering monasteries, ancient monuments, beautiful churches, traditional taverns, gorgeous accommodations, and many restaurants, shops, and cafes that cater to town visitors. Several squares are adorned with pretty fountains, which become favored spots for those visiting Kalambaka who want a moment's rest, especially during the late evening when the calmness of the town is best seen.

Kalambaka is also home to the Holy Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, a grand church found at the base of the great rock Agia. If you're intrigued by religious, historical buildings with incredible significance for locals, you'll want to ensure you visit. Besides the church, the Phinos River flows through the Thessalian Valley, and the Apropotamus River and Koziakas Mountain are also landmarks worth checking out during your stay.

From Athens to Kalambaka: travel tips

We know you don't want to be bogged down trying to remember countless travel tips when traveling from Athens to Kalambaka, so we've shared the top three tips to ensure a smooth journey.

Be prepared for unpredictable weather

Despite popular belief, Greece is not a country that experiences endless sunny weather without a cloud in the sky. That's why if you're planning to travel from Athens to Kalambaka, you need to be prepared for unpredictable weather. Usually, simply packing an umbrella and being prepared to keep important things dry, like your camera, passports, and bag, is enough to ensure the weather doesn't dampen your travel experience.

Wear good walking shoes

Walking is a common component in Kalambaka and many of the destinations along the way. In fact, it is one of the best ways to explore Greece's many attractions and activities. That's why it's best to ensure you're wearing good walking shoes—especially if you want your Daytrip driver to stop along the way at any of the popular sightseeing spots.

Stop for a drink and a swim

There aren't many places in the world where you can stop, enjoy a drink, and swim while traveling, but this is a reality when driving from Athens to Kalambaka. Along the route to Kalambaka, several wineries and vineyards offer incredibly picturesque stopping points near the town. You can stop and order something to drink while you enjoy a dip in the pool. After a quick swim, you can continue to Kalambaka.

How to get from Athens to Kalambaka

Kalambaka is not the easiest place to travel to in Greece, as the north is a series of breathtaking mountains. So, this means that half the battle is getting there. Fortunately, there are a few transportation options if you plan a trip from Athens to Kalambaka. Some are admittedly easier and more cost-effective than others, so read on to learn more:

From Athens to Kalambaka by train

The trip from Athens to Kalambaka is one of the rare instances where traveling by train is the cheapest option. The Hellenic train line offers trips between these two Greek cities four times daily, but depending on when you travel, you might only encounter one a day, so it's important to check the train schedules and timetables.

The train trips are typically in the late afternoon, so you will only get into Kalambaka late at night. Keep this in mind when planning your trip, as you'll likely need to book accommodation and explore the next day. Price-wise trains cost between $22 and $41, and an average trip time-wise is four hours and 52 minutes with at least one transfer.

From Athens to Kalambaka by bus

Another affordable travel option is the bus, but because it's so popular, you might find it difficult to secure a seat, especially if you're traveling with a group of people.

Only one bus line—KTEL Trikala—offers trips from Athens to Kalambaka. In certain seasons, the trips are daily, but a bus only leaves once every four hours, so check the timetables ahead of schedule. Tickets cost between $25 and $50.

However, it's worth noting that you won't have the opportunity to sightsee or be as comfortable as if you had traveled by car.

From Athens to Kalambaka by flight

Kalambaka (and Meteora in general) doesn't have an airport. Theoretically, it is possible to take a flight from Athens to Ioannina or Thessaloniki, but from there you need to take a train (around 4 hours) or car to Kalambaka. Not only is this complicated and time-consuming, but it's not always cost-effective, with tickets costing upwards of $120.

From Athens to Kalambaka by private car

Let's face it: traveling by car is often the easiest way to get from Athens to Kalambaka, but rideshares and taxis can be exorbitantly expensive.

Luckily, this is where Daytrip's private door-to-door car service comes in. Not only do our drivers offer private trips so you won't be in a car with other people but the trip itself is affordable with prices starting at 80 euros per seat.

Plus, when you travel with Daytrip, you can look forward to sightseeing stops and friendly conversations with our experienced local drivers, during which you'll get handy travel tips and insights. Driving also only takes just under four hours, making it the fastest and most convenient way to travel to Kalambaka.

Things to do when you get to Kalambaka

So, what exactly should you do when visiting Kalambaka? Below, we've shared a few of the best attractions and activities you should consider if you're planning a trip from Athens to Kalambaka. Since it is a small town, there isn't as much variety as you would find in Athens, but this doesn't mean it's not worth a visit.

Natural History Museum of Meteora and the Mushroom Museum

Were you aware that the underrated region of Thessaly, where Kalambaka is found, is one of the best places to cultivate endemic mushrooms?

If you're a mushroom fan who enjoys cultivating and harvesting mushrooms and learning more about the many types found in different areas of the world, you'll want to visit the Natural History Museum of Meteora and the Mushroom Museum in Kalambaka.

When visiting these museums, you'll learn about the region's mushrooms, as well as the local wildlife and ecosystems. What's more, the museum even offers taste testing so you can sample some of the delicious mushrooms and purchase a bag or two, along with other mushroom products like mushroom-infused olive oil.

Monasteries of Meteora

If you're visiting Kalambaka, you won't want to miss the chance to see the beautiful monasteries atop massive boulders. These monasteries are hundreds of years old, and six of them are open to the public; however, it's best to check the times they are open with locals, as they have varying schedules for when they allow visitors.

It's also important to dress conservatively and be prepared to pay an entrance fee for some of them. The fee is often low, making the journey up the mountains worthwhile. Once inside, you'll get to see extraordinary views over the plains and bask in the silence and solitude.

Meteora Forest hiking

Those who love nature and hiking shouldn't miss out on hiking through the Meteora Forest when visiting Kalambaka. This uniquely beautiful rock forest features several crisscrossing trails that you can traverse to your heart's content.

However, we recommend the Eastern Trail since it only takes half a day and begins at the Stefanos Monastery. Should you have more time, the Western Trail is also worth exploring. It offers spectacular views and many monasteries that are closed to the public. Yet, this trail is more challenging, so expect to hike the entire day.

When is the best time to visit Kalambaka?

If you're planning a trip from Athens to Kalambaka, we recommend visiting during the fall or spring as these seasons offer moderate temperatures, rainfall, and spectacular greenery. In addition, you won't need to contend with as many crowds or exorbitant fees if you visit during these times of the year.

However, if you want to experience Kalambaka at its sunniest, you could consider visiting in July and August. Because of its elevation, the average high temperature is 77.7° F (25.4° C), which isn't overbearing. Just be prepared for more people and higher costs.

Athens에서 Kalabaka까지 여행에 대한 질문과 답변

Is it safe to drive from Athens to Meteora?

It is safe to drive from Athens to Meteora, but it's best to drive with a car service like Daytrip. Daytrip can guarantee a safe traveling experience since it hires professional drivers who know the route and how to navigate the roads between the two cities.

How long is the train ride from Athens to Meteora?

The train ride from Athens to Meteora is usually between four and a half hours to five hours long. However, the trip length can depend on if any transfers occur and if you hop on and off at different locations to explore.

Is Kalabaka the same as Kalambaka?

It's a bit confusing, but yes, Kalabaka is the same as Kalambaka (and Kalampaka). These are all transliterations for the Turkish word for “strong fort” because of the region's mighty rock formations.

How do you get from Athens to Meteora?

Getting from Athens to Meteora isn't overly difficult, considering a few transportation options exist. For example, you can drive with a private car service like Daytrip, take a bus, or hop on a train. Each option has its positives and negatives, but driving is generally the most time-productive and cost-efficient option.

How do you get from Athens Airport to Kalambaka?

There is no direct flight from Athens Airport to Kalambaka, and Kalambaka doesn’t have an airport. Instead of flying, it's easier to take a train from Athens (a change is required), or even better a door-to-door car ride with Daytrip.

Is Kalambaka, Meteora worth visiting?

If you want to see UNESCO-listed medieval monasteries built atop sheer stone outcrops, or hike through a unique landscape then yes. If you want to spend your time in Greece sitting on the beach, still yes! It's too unique to miss!

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.

Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
