<p>Sometimes the world offers sights so enthralling that the heart misses a beat. The medieval monasteries of Meteora, impossibly perched upon towering outcrops of rock, are such a sight. After driving through the scenic plains of Thessaly (or Thessalia), you’ll come to Kalabaka, where 14th-century Greek Orthodox monks built 24 monasteries—of which six remain—to bring themselves closer to God. Ascending the steps to two of these historic religious communities is rewarded by the spectacular views from the top, and the ancient icons, frescoes and manuscripts displayed within. Afterwards, reflect on the experience over lunch at a local restaurant before returning to the ship.</p>
