Excursion to Meteora
Description:
A visit to this geological wonder of nature, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, will leave in the soul of every traveler a sense of admiration and wonder. It is necessary to see Meteors with your own eyes to believe in their existence. Meteora are Christian monasteries, incredibly built on the tops of giant steep cliffs, majestically aimed at the sky. Priceless monuments of history and culture with their rich collections of icons, frescoes and special architecture will give us the opportunity to plunge into the sacred and unusual world of monastic life.
Byzantine ascetics of piety, striving for a silent and harsh life in unceasing prayer, have long chosen the picturesque peaks of Thessaly rocks. Hard-to-reach caves, located on steep slopes, reliably shielded hermits not only from the sinful customs of the world, but also from political persecution.
