Meteora in Greece

After relaxing on the island of Ios (read my last post here!) we headed back to Athens and rented a car there. Once again we arrived in the middle of the night, but everything worked out better than expected. Maybe my guardian angel paid close attention to me during this whole trip or perhaps Greece just really wanted to impress me - whichever, it worked very well and I am absolutely in love with the country and the people there!

We only had a short time left in Greece, but still a lot on our bucket list, so we immediately took off and headed north to Meteora. And let me tell you, Meteora is truly spectacular and dreamy and out of this world (I am kind of running out of words to describe Greece, haha). It is a view you'd rather expect to see in China than in an European country - at least that's what I'd been thinking. On top of natural stone pillars monks had built monasteries back in the 14th century. Usually, I am much more into untouched nature and not so much into human stuff, but here the buildings blend in so perfectly well with their environment that is makes the view even better. I had only seen one picture of Meteora before I came there and not many expectations, so naturally I was blown away. But see for yourself!
