Amazing churches and a rest day

Today to Meteora to visit Grand Meteora Monastery and St Stephen Monastery. These monasteries are beyond belief, built hundreds of years ago, on immense pillars of rocks, with only the help of ropes to get the building materials to the top. Great Meteoron is the largest monastery, built in the 14th century, while St Stephen was built in the 16th century. St Stephen’s now has 28 nuns inhabiting it. We were given a guided tour of both monasteries and some time to look around by ourselves. There were originally about 30 built who knows how!! Now there's only a few left but still used by monks and nuns as in the 1600's.
After this amazing experience we got to have a free afternoon. It's still mid 30 degrees so we hang out in the pool. After a big 3 days, everyone is enjoying it.Leer más
