Meteora is widely known as a place of mesmerizing natural beauty, cultural heritage, and spiritual exploration. Our primary goal for traveling there is to witness the breathtaking landscape, where unique rock formations rise from the plains below, creating one of the most stunning natural settings. At the same time, these massive rocks, formed over millions of years ago, house the famous monasteries, which are located on top of the cliffs, providing a sense of awe and tranquility. By visiting the museums in some of the monasteries and observing their architectural intelligence, we gain a lot of information about the local culture and religion. Finally, through this trip we aim to form a connection with Greek traditions, present the local cuisine, and enjoy the hospitality of the local village, Kastraki.
