Μετεορα (Meteora)

Meteora was once covered completely with water, causing the rocks to form in the way they currently are. The giant rocks that sit upon the hills are often given divine-like praise. Now for centuries, Monks and hermits have found sanctuary in Meteora, which now houses 6 functioning Monasteries. Hermits climbed these large rocks and built homes in small caves on the rocks, living in complete isolation for extended periods of time.

 

Might I also add that every path and road here is extremely steep, and flip flops are possibly the worst choice of shoe to wear when climbing is inevitable. Anyway, blisters will heal.
