We will be staying in the Athens Plaka area. Where would be the best place to rent a car? I assume public transportation to a suburban location?
Is the 4 hr drive there difficult?
Do you need an international drivers license?
Once in Kalambaka, can you drive to the monasteries and if so, do you expect parking would be a problem for a early November visit?
Suggestion on a hotel in Kalambaka.
Thanks

In downtown Athens, all the car rental companies are located on the same avenue, "Leof Andrea Siggrou" (not far from the Acropolis Museum). It's here:

Search for "Car rental" and select according to your criteria.
The road to Meteora is not particularly difficult; it's mostly highway.
The IDL is no longer required to rent and drive a car in Greece (since 2022).
Instead of staying in Kalambaka, look for Kastraki instead, a better location.

I don't think parking will be a problem in early November.
