You must visit Meteora:
The Prehistory
Millions of years ago, river boulders and limestone "poured" in the sea area covering then all Thessaly. Where once the waters withdrew the Aegean, reached the alpine folds of the Pindos mountain range. So "they emerged" and Meteora. At some tops them lie far fossilized shellfish !
The History ...
The wild and inaccessible landscape of the " stone garden" Meteora was a welcome retreat for the early Christian ascetics. The colonization of the rocks is in itself a remarkable feat. Intervening centuries and a tough crowd and dedicated monks, who like ants climbing on the steep slopes to become monks dedicating their lives to God. Thus founded about thirty monasteries, of which unfortunately survived only six (Ag. Nicholas rest Rousanou, Varlaam, Great Meteoron, Agia Triada, Agios Stefanos). Nestled stand proudly over the windswept rocks, whose view alone literally breathtaking! Male or female, erected and inhabited continuously , in spite of the times, timeless guardians of faith and Orthodoxy.

From 1988 Meteora on the list of UNESCO World Heritage. They are now accessible to all tourists, pilgrims and athletes who flock from all over the world to admire this unique creation of nature, framed from people's projects. A feast of sporting activities harmoniously coexists with the spiritual struggle of modern ascetics. A maze stem and newer paths, sculptured sometimes from people, sometimes from kids and sometimes just from the elements, complements the asphalt roads. Some of these paths have the unique chance to enjoy and athletes who will participate in Meteora Trail Running! meteoratrailrun
