A visit to Meteora, Greece, a monastery on a rocky cliff

I visited Meteora after driving four hours one way after falling in love with a single Instagram video. It seems that many people visit from Athens as a day tour, but since the round-trip travel time is not short, I recommend staying for about one night. We checked in at our accommodation in Kalambaka around 4 PM and walked the hiking course from Kalambaka to St. Stephen's Monastery. It is not a long course, about 30 minutes one way, but it is still hiking. However, because it was late, we could not see the inside of the monastery and just looked at the view and came down. The next day, we drove to the most famous Valaam Monastery and Meteora Monastery. The monastery is larger in size, but I personally liked Valaam Monastery better. The monasteries in Meteora are closed on alternate days of the week, so please check the schedule. Also, women should wear long skirts or bring a scarf. Some monasteries lend scarves to wear around your waist like a skirt, but in the case of the Monastery, you had to buy one. It is the same even if you wear long pants. #European travel #Greece #Free accommodation event #Overseas travel #Meteora
