    We arrive at Meteora and visit three Monasteries. Breathtaking at first site, the Monasteries are of great cultural and natural importance. Split from earthquakes, weathered from the wind and the water over millions of millions of years, these immense rocks are an authentic masterpiece of mother nature. The Meteora is a rock formation in central Greece hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox Monasteries. The six (of an original 24) monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. Meteora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List and the name means "lofty", "elevated", and is etymologically related to meteor. Please be modestly dressed.

While the Greeks lost this battle, they were able to expel the Persian invaders in the following year.

Michael picked us right on time at 7am and was the best host! Even though it was a very long day (13 hours!), he was in high spirits all day and was eager to help us with anything we needed. He answered all our random questions about Greek culture and helped my husband with his Greek grammar questions. He recommended a great restaurant in Kalambuka and my whole family agreed it was the best meal in Greece. I even texted him the next day to follow up on a loukamades restaurant he recommended and he immediately responded and sent me the address. Above and beyond service. Thank you, Michael, for a great time in Meteora! I highly recommend this tour.
