Meteora is a geological wonder that left me awe-struck. I saw six majestic monasteries perched atop towering rock formations that seemed to touch the sky. According to my research, these formations were formed millions of years ago by tectonic movements and weathering. The monasteries were built in the 14th and 15th centuries by hermit monks seeking solitude. I found it fascinating that they used ropes, ladders, and baskets to transport building materials up to the top of the rocks. The views from the top were breathtaking, with panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountain ranges and valleys.The harmonious coexistence of the monks and nature was a sight to behold.
