Sitting on Top of the World

On my way from Thessaloniki to Athens I was able to stop in the small town of Kalambaka where Meteora is. The mountains here are famous for a serious of 12 monasteries that were built atop these immense rocks back in the 13th century. I took a steep hike up to the monasteries, but the views were definitely worth it.

Sitting on top of the world, well more like standing, but you get the picture. (No pun intended)

Another one of the monasteries, only 6 of the 12 remain today.
