    Savor breakfast in your hotel and then travel for nearby UNESCO-listed Meteora for a tour of the centuries-old monasteries seemingly suspended between earth and sky. Discover the remarkable history, spiritual traditions, and architectural wonders of this extraordinary monastic landscape.

    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.
