Winter is the most suitable backdrop for enjoying Meteora. The atmosphere becomes dramatic, with the cold and the mists creating an eerie and mysterious environment. Imagine driving with a backdrop of classical music – it would be the ultimate soundtrack for this experience.
This unique complex of huge, dark sandstone rocks began to form 25 million years ago. It is one of the most fascinating destinations not only in Greece but in the whole of Southeastern Europe, a fact confirmed by its official recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site almost three decades ago.
The magic of Meteora lies in the absolute symbiosis of epic nature with spirituality. These are images that could come from a science fiction movie and geological wonders that transport the mind to realms of myth and legend.
