Day 4 – Meteora

Day 4 – Meteora

After breakfast at the hotel we depart for Meteora with its striking scenery, perched on top of huge rocks that seem to be suspended in mid-air, stand ageless Monasteries, where you can see exquisite specimens of Byzantine art.

A visit to Meteora, perched above the town of Kalambaka, is a unique and breathtaking experience on trips to Greece. Situated roughly between Athens and Thessaloniki, this is a series of rock formations with vertical cliffs on top of which are to be found a number of monasteries dating back mostly to the 14th Century. These monasteries were built by monks who were previously hermits living in caves. A visit to the monasteries, even if your interests are not religious, will give you a spiritual and magical feeling.
