Metéora

March 27, 2012

My first card from Greece! The card shows one of the gems of Greece: Metéora (Suspended in the air). Located near the towns of Kalampaka and Kastraki in northwestern Thessaly in central Greece, it consists of a number of rock pinnacles topped with a total of 24 monasteries.
The Metéora is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece and is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Unesco: Meteora
