Meteora. An other worldly experience in Northern Greece

In the north of the Greek mainland is a wonder and an incredible sight to behold. Just outside of the town of Kalabaka are the Meteora monasteries. The name, Meteora, means lofty or elevated and is closely related to the word meteor. This really describes this place in a nutshell. I couldn’t help but be amazed and in awe of the pillars coming up from the valleys below. Many of these cliffs house monasteries and convents that are still in use today. Some of them are open for tours and visits. Make sure you head to one of these cliffs and take in the sights below. It’s no wonder that this town is registered as a UNESCO world heritage site. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before - or probably will ever see again! #greece #meteora #europe #travel #holiday #wanderlust #traveller

Megalo Meteoro Monastery

A visit to Meteora-Greece and the monasteries offer a unique perspective of nature’s grandeur in conjunction with history, architecture, and man’s everlasting desire to connect with the Divine. From the early Christian times, the cliffs of Meteora were regarded as a perfect place to achieve absolute isolation. A place for people to find peace and harmony and, thus, to support mankind’s’ eternal struggle for spiritual ascension. Meteora today is the largest archaeological site of Greece in terms of the area that it covers. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1989 and an official holy place for Greece since 1995. A vast complex of giant rock pillars with monasteries made on the picks of the sandstone cliffs centuries ago creates a truly surreal landscape found nowhere else in the world! #mynovgetaway #travel #mynovgetaway
