Description
You won’t believe this place exists in Greece! Walk inside the monasteries of Holy Meteora and learn about its rich history, stunning Byzantine paintings and the Eastern Orthodox church. Explore this unique destination with me to feel inspired at heart to create art!
Floating in the air, Meteora is a group of 6 monasteries of various size that provide shelter to monks, religious art and spirit. Stunning views from and to the monasteries are everywhere along the road leading to the top. Located about 5-6 hours away from Athens, Greece, it’s a must-see attraction. I explain some facts about the history of Meteora and its rock formations, the origins of monkhood and how they climbed the rocks. I also give explanation about the origins of the Byzantine painting and the Eastern orthodox church. I explain the rules of icon painting. Finally, I share some travel tips in the end.
