Have a look at http://www.meterora-greece.com and possibly http://www.yourgreece.gr - the second one has some realy nice looking hotels but I'm not sure if any are near enough to Meteora. We visited Meteora for the day from the Pelion a few years back - it really is the most fantastic place.

For Parga try http://www.pargaweb.com - or for almost anywhere in Greece http://www.gto.gr

Hi Ginamc we visited meteora a few years ago, we just arrived there {as usual } and found our own place to stay, we stayed in Kastraki. I would advise a stay of two or more nights to ensure at least one full day it is an absolutely delightful place to visit probably 4-5 hours to parga although they were building a new link road not sure if its all in use yet.
While there i would also consider a visit to the ZAGOROHORIA region which includes the quietly kept secret of the VIKOS FARANGI { gorge }this place is the best place in greece to visit if you enjoy dramatic scenery sheer cliffs of over 5000ft high monastries villages etc contact me if you would like to know more. hope this helps to start with - ho parga is very beautiful as well plenty of accommodation easy to find .....dave

Thank you MariaH and Davemel for your replies

This if the first time we have ever gone it alone. In the past we have always booked with a tour operator so all feed back is gratefully received.

I am so looking forward to exploring this part of Greece and will take note of all your suggestions.
