country. The town at the foot of the site is called <strong>Kalambaka<\/strong>, it is located 3 hours from the city of <strong>Thessaloniki<\/strong> and 4 hours from<strong>Athens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/2\/embed?mid=15llaa2ETMMP_pLbACRwgrzQCWlDYFq0&#038;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"100%\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_and_do_in_Meteora\"><\/span>What to see and do in Meteora?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meteors are a set of rocks on which monasteries were built, today <strong>6 are open to visitors<\/strong>. If you stay only a few days, it is very difficult to visit all of them because each monastery has its own closing days and they are not the same for all of them (otherwise it would be too easy for the visitors!).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not very complex to plan a visit in advance. The advantage is that no matter what day of the week it is, you will always find one open. We were able to visit 2 of them and we went to the many viewpoints to enjoy beautiful panoramas of this site.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow

Feel free to leave a comment if the view is really worth it!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then we also visited the <strong>Great Meteor<\/strong>, located just across the street, it is the largest and most visited, its name helps sell it well, in any case, we wanted to see the BIG Meteor.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will be necessary once again to climb many steps, all this effort is rewarded once in the enclosure of the monastery, it is a very rich and complete visit. The different areas and terraces are all interesting to visit, and the omnipresent wood brings warmth to the place.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it is the most visited we advise you to go there <strong>early in the morning<\/strong> to avoid being in the middle of tourist buses.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter
