Meteora - maravilla del mundo

Información

Join us on an adventure to one of Greek's standout sights - Meteora. Deep in mainland Greece, it's a group of medieval monasteries, each one balanced precariously on rock pinnacles rising up from a plain. During the 13th century, twenty-four were built here using nets to haul the stone and workmen up. And today, six are still in use. After a scenic drive here, you'll take a good look at these half-natural, half-man-made wonders. You'll concentrate on the biggest, the Great Meteoron. Perched 2,000 feet up, this huge edifice was built in 1382. Admire its church, museum and frescoes before drinking in the views from its walls. While you're wandering round, you might get a sense of déja;-vu - the whole place landed a starring role in ‘For Your Eyes Only'. With your explorations done and after time for lunch in nearby Kalambaka, you'll continue on to Metsovo. This cutesy village perches high in mountains and is known for its smoked cheese and red wine. Peek round its cobbled lanes and balconied houses before heading back to Parga.
