When you first see them, some things are obviously made for a purpose. The mountains of Meteora are definitely NOT made for monasteries to be built on top of them. But that didn’t occur to the locals 700 years ago.
Maybe their minds just worked a little differently to mine, but I saw them and thought, “Climb!”. So climb we did. The fact that our guide only had super grippy climbing shoes that were 2 sizes too small just made it more of an experience - I not only felt the thrill that only Peter Parker knows better, I also now know what Chinese ladies of days gone by felt when they had their feet bound into parcels half their size.
Not much more to say that pictures won‘t say a thousand times better, other than that there was a 95% chance that the American guy climbing with us was Vin Diesel, and a 5% chance that it was his twin brother or stunt double.
Photos of climbing and all other Greece fun and games can be seen here:
