14) KALAMBAKA and METEORA


On the way to Kalambaka nestled below the fabled monasteries of METEORA. 

"METEORA is known as "the rocks that fell from the sky". It is here that monks built their rock-top monasteries, far away from civilisation which today is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece. There were thirteen large and twenty small monasteries plus hermit's cells in the area; only four are now active."
