Meteora is one of Greece's best kept travel secrets. Deep in the mountains lies hidden monasteries that were built in the 14th century. It is a place charged with spiritual energy and landscape unlike anything I've ever seen before. Kalambaka is the closest town to this amazing place, so make sure you don't miss it on your next travels to Greece!

The word "meteor" comes from the word "μετέωρον / meteoron" (the object that hovering in the sky) Meteora is in plural, because are too many. This is one of the best videos for that holy place. The catalog of suggestions is endless for Greece, but the Peloponnese...

Hi from Greece! Meteora hosts many monasteries, not just this one. You can still find fossils from sea creatures up there as it was pushed above the water forming a plateau. Linkin Park's famous album with the same name comes from this place

It really is breathtaking and awesome and your enthusiasm and respect shone through. Im stuck in Wales waiting for my next fix of Greece. I see that you did a hike in the Samaria Gorge and that’s on my list. Not sure if anyone else has recommended you take a look at the Vikos Gorge in the North West of Greece - its stunning and well worth a visit.

@joshderanzin9611 3 жыл бұрын

Contrary to the popular tourist sites, Greece has some really amazing places to just "get lost" and be on your own or, at least, with very few people around. Mountains, hills, beaches. Hundreds of them, mostly free of tourists. Waiting for all of you to walk around or laze around. I usually see images of beaches with people one on top of the other and crowds in and out of the sea. How is anyone supposed to enjoy the sea or swimming like that ? So, since I am a local I avoid those places and where I go for a swim the next person that is on the beach is 50 meters away. Now, that is the way to enjoy the sea. Or the mountain. With some peace and quiet so you can actually hear the sounds of nature. P.S. If anyone wants to walk a lot in the summer sun, a hat is a good idea, along with all that water :)

Meteora is a special place , but Halkidiki's eastern sleev Athos is also , keep in mind that women are not allowed to go there. One of the ways to see it is by ship or boat. The question is why the monasteries are built over these rocks? The history is the answer.....................

Just outstanding videography, Alina! Beautiful music! You have captured the ambiance and inspiration of the place. Those seeking a connection to the creator always seem to gravitate toward quiet and elevated locations. I can tell that you were moved by the experience! Maybe you WERE a nun in a former lifetime 😉 ... thus your attraction to places of spirituality ... or maybe you just know to whom you belong. This explains why we are so mesmerized ... whether or not most recognize it ... your own spiritual beauty shines through. Thank you for this truly neat documentary of your experience! As always, much love and respect ❤️.

The monastic life: “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One more, for the anxious, or even a nomad: Thoughts from Jesus: ““Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:25-33‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Humble suggestion: get a pair or two of cargo pants (extra pockets - i wear them all the time) or jeans to protect your beautiful skin from these rocky terrains and the elements. Also, water resistant hiking shoes are great.
