The Avatar Mountains of Europe

Meteora, a region in Thessaly, Greece, renowned for its impressive natural landscape and historical significance, is home to renowned monasteries perched atop massive rock formations.⛰️ These monasteries, dating back to the Byzantine era, are part of the World Heritage List, while the breathtaking natural landscape was formed approximately 60 million years ago.⛪️ Here, I put together a few tips you need to know if you are planning to visit Meteora in 2024.🗺 Must know before you go: ‼️ Entry to each monastery is 3€ – This means that in total, you will spend 18€ per person to visit all six monasteries. 💰 Women must wear long skirts and cover their shoulders, while men cannot wear shorts; however, some men were seen in shorts, but all women had to wear skirts, which are provided free of charge at monastery entrances if needed. 🥻 To avoid crowds at monasteries, visit during the off-season or choose less accessible ones, as most open at 9 am and are quickly filled with tour buses by 9:30 am.👥 Due to frequent rainfall in this region of Greece, it's advisable to check the weather forecast, carry an umbrella, and ensure your belongings stay dry.🌧 #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #wecreate #wish2024 #tripblazers

Megalo Meteoro Monastery

A visit to Meteora-Greece and the monasteries offer a unique perspective of nature’s grandeur in conjunction with history, architecture, and man’s everlasting desire to connect with the Divine. From the early Christian times, the cliffs of Meteora were regarded as a perfect place to achieve absolute isolation. A place for people to find peace and harmony and, thus, to support mankind’s’ eternal struggle for spiritual ascension. Meteora today is the largest archaeological site of Greece in terms of the area that it covers. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1989 and an official holy place for Greece since 1995. A vast complex of giant rock pillars with monasteries made on the picks of the sandstone cliffs centuries ago creates a truly surreal landscape found nowhere else in the world! #mynovgetaway #travel #mynovgetaway
