Meteora is a truly inspiring and sensational setting of overwhelming rock formations, but one must also
be prepared to expect that this trip is much more than merely visiting an
exquisite landscape. In a region of almost inaccessible sandstone
peaks, monks settled on these ‘columns of the sky’ from the 11th century
onwards.
