Somewhat magically, the Meteora monasteries dot the landscape in Kalabaka, Greece. In Greek, meteora means "suspended in air" or "in the heavens above". More than 20 of these monasteries were built during the Byzantine Empire, today only 6 of these (seemingly impossible to build) structures exist. When I visited Kalabaka I was awe struck by the spiritual serenity of each of these buildings and the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Just like yesterday's post, I could write pages about the experience of seeing Meteora and how they make one feel. But, a picture can paint a thousand words - I hope this one can.
