" METEORA FACTS "
Meteora, an area
that attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world every year
is situated in Greece. Meteora is famous for its monasteries that are
built on eroded rocks.
The name itself means "suspended in the
air". The monks built these monasteries on the top of the rocks. Earlier
there were many monasteries but now only six are left. Meteora was
inhabited by hermit monks first. The climate here varies with sweating
summers to chilly winters. The area experiences rain all through the
year.
The rocks on which these monasteries stand are believed
to be almost sixty million years old and their weathering and evolving
makes the place perfect for hiking. Tourists here enjoy visiting
monasteries, hiking and exploring caves. The best way to reach the place
is by taking a bus from Athens. There are good hotels to stay in a
village of Kastraki. The nearby places worth visiting are Mount Olympus,
Athens, Santorini and many more.
