Gallery: Rocks and Monasteries of Meteora
In central Greece, one of the main attraction is the site of Meteora. Here, there are great rock formations caused by different geological phenomena. But this is not enough. Already in the 9th century AD, monks started building monasteries on top of these rocks. Nowadays, six monasteries still remain.
A day full of history and beautiful landscape: Delphi and a hike to the sea
Delphi is one of the must sees in Greece. We planned to cross the country through the northern part. But then we got recommendations from different sites to not miss Delphi.
So, we changed planes (as usual) and went south. It was a perfect decision, though. We really enjoyed our stay in the area and the visit to the archaeological site of Delphi.
As a plus, we hiked down from the city to the sea and finished the day with a jump into the cold water.
