Meteora

The Meteora Monastery is one of the most spectacular buildings in the area and has been listed as a World Natural Heritage Site. It was built in the 14th century on a higher rocky hill in the valley at an altitude of 613 meters. The unique church is built on a high cliff, as if floating in the air, as if it makes people feel like they are in a pure land isolated from the world. The architectural pattern of the Meteora monastery reflects the status of the main monastery. There is a room where the skulls of the deceased monks are displayed, and the clothes worn by the early monks are also collected. There is a group of frescoes "Martydom of Saints" in the monastery.

St. Sofia Temple

St. Sofia Temple is one of the oldest churches in the city of Sofia. The existing red-brick cruciform structure, along with its two eastern towers and a domed tower, was built in the mid-6th century during the Byzantine era under the reign of Justinian I. It is contemporary with the famous cathedral of the same name in Istanbul and serves as an important remnant of early Christian architecture in Southeast Europe. In the 14th century, Sofia was named after this church, and the church's image is still preserved on the city's coat of arms today. The highlight inside the church is under your feet: the floor is covered with early Christian-era mosaics. The intricate, interlacing floral, animal, and geometric patterns require a closer look to fully appreciate their craftsmanship. Since "St. Sofia" means "Holy Wisdom," the icon inside depicts Sofia as the young Christ seated on a rainbow, which is quite different from typical saint icons. This building has also experienced its share of hardships: the 12th-century frescoes were destroyed, it was converted into a mosque during the Ottoman period, it was abandoned after two earthquakes in the 19th century, and it was only restored and reopened in the 20th century. An archaeological exhibition area has been opened beneath the church, displaying sarcophagi, brick-vaulted tombs, and dozens of burial sites from the 3rd–5th centuries from the eastern necropolis of the ancient Roman city of Serdica, as well as remains of earlier generations of churches. Some tomb walls still bear paintings; notably, a 5th-century tomb on the northwest side is famous for its red inscription "Honorius, servant of God." Don't miss this "underground city" when you visit. In front of the church's main entrance is the Monument to the Unknown Soldier and the eternal flame. Nearby lies the Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov, and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is within walking distance for a combined visit.

Arachova

Arachova is situated on the southern slopes of Mount Parnassos in central Greece, at an altitude of nearly 1 km, and is a mountain town full of traditional charm. Far from the busy coastal cities, the ancient houses built into the mountainside, winding cobblestone streets, and surrounding lush green mountains create a unique view. With gray stone walls and red-tiled roofs, the houses are layered along the steep hillside, creating a three-dimensional mountain town silhouette. Strolling through the streets feels like stepping into a tranquil Greek countryside painting. The town's streets are narrow and charming, with cobblestone paths extending up and down the slopes, lined with traditional houses, specialty shops, and cozy small restaurants. Shops along the street are often hung with colorful hand-woven blankets and tapestries. The rich colors of red, blue, and yellow contrast sharply with the gray stone walls, showcasing the traditional weaving techniques that have been passed down for years.
