Meteora

This morning we packed up and left the motel and drove nearly 3 hours to Meteora.

The weather is overcast and a bit cooler today.
The ladies had to wear dresses or a long skirt, and were given a sarong to enter the monastery.

Meteora is a rock formation and complex of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in central Greece, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique geological features and the ancient monasteries built atop towering sandstone pillars. The name "Meteora" means "suspended in the air," reflecting the monasteries' impressive and seemingly gravity-defying locations.

It was jaw dropingly next level amazing. How those monasteries were built on the top of those mountains is any one’s guess!!

We had a tour of the Holy Monastery of St Stephen’s. Of note was seeing an original manuscript of Aristotle from 1498.

We stopped at a few locations on the way down for photo ops before stopping at the town at the foot of the mountain for lunch. I had Moussaka a typical Greek dish. It was delicious.

We then drove 15 mins to our next hotel. It has a beautiful outdoor pool and I had a glorious swim. We ended the day with a fabulous buffet dinner and plenty of laughs reminiscing over old memories with our girls table. Another highlight of a day!Read more
