We just cruised by Mount Athos and visited Meteora on a shore excursion from our Voyages to Antiquity cruise! We had SO been looking forward to Meteora. Unfortunately, everyone else in the world also seemed to want to visit, and so we had to contend with hordes of tourists all squeezing together to climb the steps to the particular monastery and nunnery we saw. Meteora is an amazing site, but it looks like you had more fun on your visit :-).

Wow stunning photos. I’ve never heard of Meteora but it looks like one of those places that should be on everyone’s bucket lists. Whenever I see places like this, built on cliff sides, I always wonder how much work went into building it, it couldn’t have been easy

Meteora is a sight that shouldn’t be missed by anyone visiting contintental Greece. You have to see it to believe it. It’s a monument of nature and human determination.
Follow the link above for a timetable of the visiting days/hours of all six monasteries. It is updated to the best of our knowledge.
PS
Great photos!
