Starting our journey to Meteora in central Greece

This site is an illustrated account of our journey to Meteora in central Greece. We found it a place of great beauty; mentally, physically and spiritually refreshing, and hope that you will enjoy this virtual visit and perhaps add it to your travels one day in the future.

Our visit to Meteora took place at the end of March when winter turns almost overnight into summer, and wild flowers suddenly awake and begin to adorn the hillsides. All we originally knew about Meteora is that this was the place where Byzantine monasteries were built atop rocky pinnacles and monks were hoisted up the vertical cliffs in baskets.
