Meteora

Meteora means "lofty" or "elevated" in Greek, and this place is certainly both things. This outstanding stop on our journey featured soaring rock columns and Byzantine monasteries perched up high.

We camped fairly close at a site where we could ride to some of the views. Memorably, a huge herd of goats came by while the kids were doing school work. And, cows loudly mooed us to sleep.

We woke up early to watch the sunrise come over the valley. It was gorgeous.Läs mer
