Meteora is like nowhere else on earth, with impressive rock formations towering high above the ground, adorned with ancient monasteries that have stood the test of time for centuries. These remarkable structures are exclusive to this region and have been rightfully recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Evia is the second largest island in Greece and remains relatively unknown to tourists, offering a tranquil escape just a short hour’s journey from Athens. Embrace the Greek way of life and go for a walk through the picturesque rolling hills, stopping to cool off in the refreshing waters of small coves that dot the coastline.
