Savor breakfast in your hotel and then travel for nearby UNESCO-listed Meteora for a tour of the cliff-top monasteries. Visit Meteora and enjoy a unique scenery with ageless Monasteries, containing historical and religious treasures, standing between earth and sky atop huge rocks. Meteora is considered one of the most inspiring area of mainland Greece. The monasteries are perched on top of towers of sandstone, which for centuries provided totally inaccessible retreats for the monks. In the past there were no steps and the main access to the monasteries was by means of a net that was hitched over a hook and hoisted up by rope and a hand cranked windlass to winch towers overhanging the chasm. Each community developed its own resources and by the end of the 14th century, the Grand Meteoron emerged as the dominant community. The rock monasteries have been characterized by UNESCO as a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage. You will enjoy a guided tour of two of the six monasteries.
