Meteora
One of the most recognisable tourist destinations of Greece is the amazing rock formations of
Meteora and the Monasteries atop them, listed as a World Heritage Site. At first the Monasteries were
reached by climbing ladders, or the monks hauled up in nets by windlasses. Nowadays, access roads and steep
steps make it easier. Stunning vistas open up from the tops of the rocks. My pictures show the four main
Monasteries, with the interior of Moni Megalou Meteorou.
