Holy Trinity Monastery at Meteora
This is one of Greece's most famous monasteries. Located in the mountains above Kalampaka, there are 3 monasteries high up on the rocks. Metamorphosis is the biggest. You can reach it by car or bus, or you can park lower and hike up (that way you'll get all the beautiful shots with great depth). When you get to the monastery, expect to climb quite a few stairs. The entry fee is €3 per person. If you're not wearing long pants and a shirt, you'll have to tie a scarf around your waist (especially women). Inside the monastery, you'll see a few balconies, an old style kitchen, a temple, and an exhibition of old books, relics, clothing, and icons. Whatever you do, don't come here during Easter as it's crazy busy. Visit early in the morning to avoid the crowd the rest of the year. #greece #Monastery #meteora
