The Avatar Mountains of Europe

Meteora, a region in Thessaly, Greece, renowned for its impressive natural landscape and historical significance, is home to renowned monasteries perched atop massive rock formations.⛰️ These monasteries, dating back to the Byzantine era, are part of the World Heritage List, while the breathtaking natural landscape was formed approximately 60 million years ago.⛪️ Here, I put together a few tips you need to know if you are planning to visit Meteora in 2024.🗺 Must know before you go: ‼️ Entry to each monastery is 3€ – This means that in total, you will spend 18€ per person to visit all six monasteries. 💰 Women must wear long skirts and cover their shoulders, while men cannot wear shorts; however, some men were seen in shorts, but all women had to wear skirts, which are provided free of charge at monastery entrances if needed. 🥻 To avoid crowds at monasteries, visit during the off-season or choose less accessible ones, as most open at 9 am and are quickly filled with tour buses by 9:30 am.👥 Due to frequent rainfall in this region of Greece, it's advisable to check the weather forecast, carry an umbrella, and ensure your belongings stay dry.🌧 #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #wecreate #wish2024 #tripblazers
