Meteora - Athens
Lunch. Discovery of the site of Meteora classified World Heritage by the UNESCO. Meteora is one of the most beautiful sights of Greece, suspended between heaven and earth. This is an incredible set of rock towers that hosts since the eleventh century Orthodox tradition monasteries. The site has about sixty of these vertiginous rocky peaks, some of which exceed 300 meters in height! Impressive is not it?
In the eleventh century, 24 monasteries were established there and served as a refuge, hence their location on top of the rocks. It was not until the fourteenth century that these simple shelters turned into monasteries. Today, only six monasteries still house the monks and you will have the chance to visit both. Soak up the peace and quiet which reign there ... Dinner then drive to Athens. Stop at Thermopylae, place of battle where nearly 7,000 Greeks led by Leonidas blocked the road to 200,000 Persians. Arrival in Athens. Installation at the hotel. Dinner and overnight in Athens.
