Meteora, Greece In the 9th century, monks began inhabiting the rocks again and in the 14th century the first monasteries were built. Nowadays, Meteora is home to one of the most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries. All six of these monasteries are built on large naturally-formed pillars. A few kilometers away from the city of Kalambaka, Meteora is waiting to fascinate visitors with breathtaking views and unique natural beauty.
Spiritual, magical, mystical, extraordinary, breathtaking, immense, inspiring, impressive.The are not enough words to describe the World-Heritage listed Meteora. The massive pinnacles of rock are the perfect setting for a science fiction or fantasy tale. The amazingly built monasteries on the top of them will take your breath away.

My tour guide George Samoilis was a perfect guide. I’d recommend him to anyone out there looking for the perfect guide..

The day trip to Meteora was amazing (sightofathens.org). We visited 4 monasteries and enjoyed lunch in the village. I was shocked by the magic and beauty of the place. I took the tour together with my brother and mother. No doubt we will have something to remember when we become old. I have traveled around the world (I am a scientist) so I have visited many places, but Meteora has something truly special. I have to say that the driver and tour guide, Mr. Giorgos Samoilis, was very friendly and warm at all moments. He knew a lot of the Greece culture and he delighted us with stories about Greek ancient times. If you take the tour to Meteora (or others since indeed I also took with Mr. Giorgos the trips to the oracle of Delphi and Mycenae), I totally recommend you to ask for him.
