Traveller notes on Kalabaka in May
Other months in Kalabaka
Kalabaka's forum is candid that early April at Meteora is a genuine coin flip — one regular with a decade of visits in the region described everything from really pleasant weather to snow up on the rock formations. The northern approach can be cloudy and wet this time of year, though staying near sea level generally avoids the worst of the snow and ice.
