Off The Beaten Path: Modern Church

After dinner I walked around the Palazzo restaurant and found a Modern Church which provided wonderful views with Kalambaka’s Rocks on the background. I didn’t find its name because it seemed to me it had been just erected – it looked very new.
You may watch my high resolution photo of Kalambaka-Meteora on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 39º 41' 53.07" N 21º 38' 0.43" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Kalambaka Modern Church.

You may see the quarter of Sopotos in the north east section of town. It is one of the oldest parts of the town, very picturesque encircled by the arch of the two great rocks, east by the rock of Holy Trinity and to the north by the greatest and most majestic rock, the rock of Alyssos.
You may watch my high resolution photo of Kalambaka-Meteora on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 39º 42' 33.48" N 21º 37' 37.26" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Cathedral church of Saint Vissarion .

A plenty of three coloured monastic cats - that was what everybody can see when entering the Great Meteoron! Here in Russia three coloured cats mean happyness for their owner. I don't know if it is so in Greece.

I did not know this area of Greece, of all the monasteries you mentioned, the Monastery of Varlaam is the one that impressed me more. | junecorlett Thu Jun 11, 2009 12:21 UTC
These pages are excellent - and exceptional pictures too. Regards June | HORSCHECK Tue Apr 21, 2009 21:07 UTC
Sergey, fabulous page with outstanding photos. You were probably very lucky with the sunny weather. Interesting to see that this area of Greece isn't completely covered by the VT database. | volopolo Mon Mar 30, 2009 11:04 UTC
