We packed up and said goodbye to Thessaloniki, a city we truly enjoyed. Our next destination was Meteora, pronounced [meˈteora].
Meteora is a rock formation that hosts one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries. Originally, there were twenty-four monasteries, but only six remain today. These monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. Between the 13th and 14th centuries, these monasteries were established atop the rocks.
