Founded in 1960, the Divani Meteora was the first hotel in the Divani Collection, a name synonymous with luxury in Greece. Fully renovated, it blends the area’s natural beauty with contemporary comfort and traditional Greek hospitality, right at the base of the extraordinary rock formations of Meteora.

Setting and arrival
I arrived in the afternoon and checked in smoothly. Antiques and display cabinets give the public spaces a sense of heritage.
The rooms
All 165 rooms, from Superior Rooms to Junior Suites, have balconies facing the rocks of Meteora. Natural earth tones seem to blend with the landscape outside, and wooden floors add warmth. My Deluxe Room had a large work space, minibar and flat-screen TV, and a bathroom with a soaking tub.
Exploring Meteora
The hotel is an ideal base for hiking and cycling. I rented a scooter in town, the perfect way to hop between viewpoints and catch the sunset over the monasteries.
Dining and facilities
Breakfast in the main restaurant is traditional with Greek touches. Facilities include a spa, indoor and outdoor pools and a very large event room.
The verdict
Fantastic views, good facilities and an unbeatable location for exploring Meteora make the Divani the natural choice in Kalambaka.
