Thessaloniki, & Meteora's Monasteries, Greece

First stops in Greece; Thessaloniki, Meteora's Monasteries, Edessa Waterfalls, and Corfu Island 

Meteora monasteries. Twenty-four monasteries were established atop the giant natural pillars that dominate the local area, mainly from the second half of the 14th century. Six of these are still active.
The pillar on the left was featured in James Bond, “For Your Eyes Only”
