Description

Type: Multi-day activity
* We invite you to a journey where we will listen to the myths of the Pythia, the prediction of the Oracle of Delphi and the most secret part of the ancient Greek world. On the one hand, there are Meteors, a place where the art of God meets a unique natural landscape. Architectural creations rise at a height of more than half a kilometer from the surface of the earth. Therefore, sightseeing tours to Meteora are organized in almost every hotel. Translated from Greek, the name of the park means "floating in the air", where the power of the human spirit and the desire for knowledge led to the triumph of creativity and harmony. There are 24 monasteries in the complex. Six of them are active. The program of the visit begins with an inspection of one of the monasteries, the path to which is very difficult and designed for hardy visitors. To achieve the goal, you need to overcome a staircase with a length of more than a hundred steps. A natural monument... The majestic Meteora Cliffs rise majestically above Kalambaka and represent a unique geological phenomenon and an important monument to Orthodoxy. Speaking about the history of this place, it is worth noting: after conducting a number of studies, historians came to the conclusion that the construction of the first hermitage on the cliff was completed in 950. The monks used special ropes to lift the heavy stones up. Rope lifts were also used to lift people into the monastery until the first half of the last century. Later they were replaced by stone stairs. Images of the glorious past, majestic temples, galleries, treasures and monuments will come to life before you. You will follow the path of the envoys of the Lydian kings Gigi and Croesus and Pharaoh Amasis, the Macedonian kings Philip II and Alexander the Great. You will learn where the Pythia once served, what the "Delphic Echo" is, and many interesting stories about Mount Parnassus itself, where the Muses, winged Pegasi, and nymphs lived.
