About this experience
You will admire the monasteries perched on the summits of slender rocks and absorb the spiritual power of Meteora. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a professional, or simply dream of seeing this incredible place - in any case, I will show you the best angles and off-the-beaten-path viewpoints, telling you about the history of this wonder. Along the way, we will talk about ancient Greece, its myths, and life.
What to Expect
Greece with a Greek
The road from Thessaloniki to Meteora will take three hours but won't seem boring to you: I will fill the entire journey with stories about the distant past and mythology of the country, our traditions, and customs. You will learn how the ancient Greeks lived and how the modern ones do; you will understand the geography of the country, gaze at Mount Olympus, and drive through the historic Thessalian Valley.
Magic Time in a Magical Place
On narrow sheer rocks reaching 600 meters, stand monasteries built in the Middle Ages. The spirit is captured by both the views and the realization of the monks-hermits' labor! You will capture your impressions in photographs. Await you are viewpoints with the most advantageous angles, not mentioned in guidebooks - we will drive along the sun's trajectory, not losing precious minutes. Of course, I will also take photos of you with the Meteora as the backdrop.
In addition, we will visit one of the surviving monasteries, the Monastery of St. Stephen. I will tell you about the chronicles and mysteries of Meteora, about the spirituality of the country; I will share my experience of interacting with the monks of Mount Athos.
