  2. 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. We bring you to this extraordinary place directly from a pick up point of your choice. Sit back and enjoy a drive through the mainland and be prepared to take photos of a lifetime.

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
