Breathtakingly surreal and serenely spiritual, the MetĂŠora monasteries spring forth from a dreamy landscape of rocky megaliths in the plains of the Thessaly Valley. The first hermits came to this far-removed corner of Greece at least as early as the 11th century to withdraw from the world and contemplate divinity. Meteora means "middle of the sky", and with their exalted heights and almost mystical inaccessibility, the MetĂŠora monasteries seem to soar towards heaven and reflect the human striving for holiness. After the fascinating tour of the monasteries, you can enjoy a delightful lunch with Greek traditional dishes in Kastraki village.
