The Monasteries of Meteora
|
|
Meteora is one
of the most amazing places in Greece, if not the world.
If you have seen pictures of Greece or spend any time looking through
travel brochures then you have certainly been impressed by the
monasteries perched on top of enormous rocks In Meteora and have
probably wondered how on earth they built them.

The rocks themselves are impressive, rising from the plains of
Thessaly a few miles northwest of Kalambaka. In fact the producers
of James Bond found them so impressive that they had Roger Moore
(or his stunt double most likely) climb the stone face of one in
the movie "For Your Eyes Only".
Nowdays these rock faces are climbed by professional and amatuers
looking for a challenge and what Paros is to wind-surfers, Meteora is to rock-climbers.
