After crossing the Olymp mountain range, we reached the truly fascinating landscape of Meteora with its monasteries.
Travelling on secondary roads |
Hairpins on the way up from the sea into the Olymp mountains |
Famous Olymp mountains in the background |
Definitely in Greece now |
Street signs serve as shooting targets |
Reaching Meteora |
6 Monasteries are still in use |
Using all the available space on the rock |
Glued to the rock |
After we had circled all the rocks and monasteries with the camper, we arrived at the camping where we had a lovely Greek farewell dinner with our group. The next day we went to visit 2 of the monasteries, only the weather wasn’t cooperating.
Bad weather at Meteora |
Climbing up to reach the monastery through rain and wind |
Tourists everywhere even with this kind of weather |
Struggling to get into the church |
Nun checking tickets and the dress code |
New paintings in the historic style |
Intensive colours as the frescos are quite new |
In the church, the painter was just finishing the last frescos |
Wearing a kind of skirt to disguise my jeans – monastery dress code ;-( |
