"Soaring Rocks..." Meteora by Lilasel

Meteora Travel Guide: 383 reviews and 965 photos

One of the most amazing places in Greece, if not the world is Meteora ("soaring rocks" in greek).
In the shadow of the mountains and just beyond the town of Kalampaka, massive gray colored pinnacles rise towards the sky. It is a strange but breathtaking landscape that has been sculpted by wind and water over thousands of years.

Meteora is inscribed on the World Heritage List of UNESCO in 1988.

Being a bird...

Probably Andreas is thinking: to fly or not... :-)

I guess it's the hidden dream of almost every person in the world - to feel like a bird... even for one minute...
When you approach the rocks you feel the fear mixed with silent admiration. Finding yourself on the top you forget the fear and the admiration isn't silent anymore. How many words of delight you know? They aren't enough...
Oh God! You try to hold out yourself from crazy wish - to fly... :-)
