So, when I was planning the Greece trip I wanted to visit places that weren’t just beach and city. A few people had suggested going to Meteora. I had vaguely heard of it but other than it consisting of several monasteries on rocks I really didn’t know much.
Wow , that’s all I can say . 10 monasteries more than 600 years old impossibly perched on huge massive boulders hundreds of feet high dominate the scenery.
At one time there were 40 monasteries but today only 10 remain . The government has been investing money heavily to rebuild and restore the ones still remaining but it’s daunting
I just had to sit and contemplate how these were built hundreds of years ago with nothing more than some ropes and pulleys.
Visually I can’t even describe it and photos don’t capture the beauty of this place .
If you get to Greece make the trek north to see this impossible place . However, be warned. We climbed probably 3000 steps and walked about 5 miles to see the monasteries we saw . You’ll definitely get your cardio for the day !!

It’s mind boggling how they were able to build these on top of the rocks. I wonder how long it took to make each one? Your pictures are gorgeous! I have a bad back. There is no way I could make the trek. Thanks for allowing me to see them through your eyes! Stunning!
