Meteora. An other worldly experience in Northern Greece

In the north of the Greek mainland is a wonder and an incredible sight to behold. Just outside of the town of Kalabaka are the Meteora monasteries.

The name, Meteora, means lofty or elevated and is closely related to the word meteor. This really describes this place in a nutshell. I couldn’t help but be amazed and in awe of the pillars coming up from the valleys below.

Many of these cliffs house monasteries and convents that are still in use today. Some of them are open for tours and visits.

Make sure you head to one of these cliffs and take in the sights below. It’s no wonder that this town is registered as a UNESCO world heritage site. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before - or probably will ever see again!
