After a long bus trip from Athens on Tuesday, we arrived in Meteora, Northern Greece. A short stop on the way at a pretty seaside village, Camino Voula.
Meteora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the centuries old monasteries perched high on the tops of stone pillars. Initially, monks lived in caves high up on the sides of these columns then eventually monasteries were built. The access was by VERY long ladders or rope baskets that carried people and goods.
In Neolithic times, these pillars were covered by ice and water, which eventually flowed down after earth movement, becoming the Agean Sea. Simply stunningly beautiful topped off with a sunset over the mountains.
