Meteora
Monasteries built on top of sheer rock pillars for the very good reason that nobody could reach them, and still can’t quite believe it looking up from the road.
The best time to visit Meteora is Apr–May, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F). Local time there is 19:46 (UTC+3).
