When I first got there, I remember how my breath was taken away ...And the first question that appeared in my head was, of course, the question HOW is this possible? How great must be the faith of people who built monasteries on sheer cliffs, at great heights, at a time when there was no need to talk about special equipment ...The rocks on which the monasteries are located are very unusual. I had never seen such rocks before. It turns out that these rocks are almost nowhere else to be found and previously they were the seabed, this is the reason for their strange appearance. An amazing fact - there were no steps to the monasteries for a very long time, and all food and even people were lifted with a winch, which you can see there. Inside the monasteries themselves, there are a lot of ancient icons and books; at the entrance, all women are given some kind of skirt. You can also see the monks carefully following the order. For tourists, the entrance is paid.
I think a visit to Meteora will create an indelible impression on everyone, will not leave indifferent even atheists, this is a place with a very strong energy. Do not miss!
