About Alyssos:
| Is one of the highest rocks of Meteora. Alyssos was considered a rock-myth for Kalampaka because of its shape and despite there was an old monastery on the top (Aghios Alyssos), its conquest was considered a great feat. |
| Approach: | South-East direction from Sourloti/Modi section. |
| Approach Time: | 20 min |

| Access Issues: | From Kastraki, head towards Kalabaka. Shortly before you come to the highest point (beneath Ambaria tower), you will see a narrow road to the left. Attention – sharp turn! The road leads back towards the houses at the highest point of Kastraki. Near its end, the road features two uphill turns, and it stops at a parking area by a chapel and cemetery (39.714367, 21.623365). The path starts there; it goes uphill through a wooded area and leads to the col and the foot of Adrachti. From there, follow the path to the base of Adrachti and continue on the left path. |
