Meteores, Kalambaka, Greece

Here is a link to my favorite shot that I posted in September.

An amazing sight to see were the monasteries and nunneries in Kalambaka. We did a lot of hiking and climbing to see them all. I only went inside one of them, my husband waited outside. There is a strict dress code, no shorts on men, women must wear a skirt and no sleeveless tops. I did have on shorts, but was given a wrap around skirt in order to go inside. One of them does not allow women in. They use gondolas to get supplies over to them or baskets to haul things up from below. There is a road that takes you to the top of a mountain behind them, then you cross bridges or climb stairs to get up to them. If you want more information, here is a link

@eyesmile I am post posting them to a couple of holes that didn't get filled when we were gone. That way I can upload more than the usual amount. They went on Sept.

I love this one, too, Vicki. Did you make it up to that one (I assume you're on the top of a hill beside it). Wow.

These cloisters are so fascinating. When I was there (in the 80's no less) we weren't allowed to visit, just look from below.
