From the fourth day of our Athens holiday - 16th February, 2023.
One last post from Meteora. I don’t think these two monasteries could be accessible except for rock climbers. As you may guess from my series of pictures of this area, we were completely overcome by what we were seeing. Even my sister and brother-in-law who were here many years ago were amazed at the views. And to think that we could have missed it because the distance from Meteora to Athens is too long to do it in a single day. Thankful to the young lady at the tourist agency in Athens who was a great help to make this happen.
I notice that this is my 4444 picture on 365 Project
Thank you very much for al your views, for your comments and for all the fav's - always appreciated.
That is quite something! What an experience to see scenes like this. I can’t begin to imagine the amount of labour that went into constructing these buildings. When I zoom in real close, it looks as if there are two people standing under a flag on the balcony in the back monastery, right near the rounded rock wall. I should imagine a helicopter would be utilised to access these monasteries.
Awesome photograph, Dione.
