Majestic Meteora in Kalambaka, Greece

Meteora is located near the town of Kalambaka in central Greece. The six monasteries (of an original twenty-four built between the 13th and 14th centuries) are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. We took a very early 5 hour train ride from Athens and reached Kalambaka by noon where we joined a 4 hour tour which we bought a day before in Athens. Upon arriving, we were met by our tour guide who took a small group of us tourists around the Meteora area in a van. We also managed to enter and tour one of the larger monasteries. Bear in mind that to enter one of these amazing monasteries, you need to wear a skirt or wear a scarf around your waist would do the job just fine. It was a long train ride to and fro but you get to see countryside Greece and I wouldn’t miss seeing this beautiful place while in Greece. It was simply amazing!
