Kalampaka (also spelt Kalambaka or Kalabaka) is a town of 12,000 citizens situated on the foot of the most extraordinary Meteora rocks.
At times underestimated as merely sharing the glory of the Meteora pinnacles that spectacularly rise in the near background. However, it is a town with a vibrant and long history in itself.
A Greek inscription on the wall of one of the town’s oldest churches (Saint John the Baptist) testifies to the existence of an ancient Greek settlement under the name Eginio. Relics of an ancient Greek temple probably of the god Apollo have been incorporated into the wall of the town’s oldest and most renowned 10th-century church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Historical records refer to the town’s Byzantine name as Stagi when it became a significant centre of the Byzantine Empire.
Its modern name originates from the Turkish words kale mpak (prestigious castle), deriving from the days of the dominion of the Ottoman Empire. During the German Occupation of Greece, Kalampaka was burnt down by the German army in 1943 and then rebuilt.
