St. Nicholas Anapafsas Monastery is located near the town of Kalambaka and is one of the smaller monasteries in the Meteora complex, often included in Greece packages for travelers. "Anapafsas" in Greek means "refreshing," which could be interpreted as a place of spiritual rejuvenation. The monastery was founded in the 14th century, although like many of the monasteries in Meteora, its exact founding date is not precisely known.
