Meteora Monasteries, Greece

The Meteora Monasteries should be at the top of your sightseeing travel itinerary, especially if you enjoy uncovering culture and embracing beautiful scenery.

Ensure you take your camera along when visiting Meteora Monasteries, as the landscapes here are so mesmerising, you’ll certainly want to revisit the scenic memories at a later date.
