The 'Meteora', Greece

The Meteora is a rock formation in central Greece hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, second in importance only to Mount Athos.The six monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. It is located near the town of Kalambaka at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains.Meteora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.The name means 'lofty', 'elevated', and is etymologically related to meteor.

The view from one of the monasteries is astonishing!!! I only can recommend to visit it once! Thanks for the post about meteora!

Yes I was lucky this year to visit it for one day. I think I have some pictures too in my last post. But on my opinion one day isn't enough so I am hoping to visit it one day again :D have you been there before?

No, i've been in greece before but that was on the island 'Corfu' (also very nice place!)
I will go back to greece and this will be one of my stops for sure!:-)Can you send the link to those photos?
