Meteora

Last friday we visited Meteora monasteries which literally in Greek means "suspended in the air". Built upon natural sandstone rock pillars build in 1517. At the time more than 20 monasteries were built, today however only six remain. Four of the monasteries are inhabited by men and two by women. These were some of the most spectacular views we have had in Greece, over looking the deep valley below. We, out of respect, wore skirts over our shorts while in the monasteries.
