Holy Spirit Rock

[3] It stands on the northern flank of the westward-opening valley in which Kastraki, Trikala is located.

Holy Spirit Rock is long and thin, trending also to the NE.

The NE trending ridge is not to be confused with the one further south that separates Kastraki from Kalabaka.

West of the valley the Pineios (Thessaly) River flows N-S. To the east the valley rises gradually into the Meteora massif, where a number of monasteries are ensconced on precipices, which they were long before the Ottomans or their Albanian peace-keepers were in Greece.

At the top of the cliff is an iron cross, said to have been erected by the Serbian king Stefan Dušan.
