VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Exploring the magical and mystical Meteora
Well this is where the tourists don’t go
When you come to Meteora make sure that
you do a hiking tour because this is spectacular
Echo!
We’re here on the ancient footpath
which used to be the only way you could reach
the monasteries
pretty cool
So this hike is really interesting because we’re
going behind all of the stone pillars
and we’re seeing a monastery that can’t be seen from the road
sower’s off the actual tourist route
and seeing some of the more quiet monasteries
the one behind me is one that they use for a retreat
to get away from the tourists in the high season
Does it count if I say what my wish is?
I wish the weather would change and
the sun would come out over Meteora
So before 1922 they way that you got up here
was they put you in a small little net
and two monks would stay up here and much that wheel around
and as the rope got shorter and shorter that’s how you’d get up
quite an adventure
And here’s the sun
Had a great time here in Meteora exploring
the beautiful monasteries and just stunning landscape
ciao!

Hiking in North Pindos (Greece). Day 1 -Vikos Gorge
Hiking in north Pindos mountains. Day 1 - from Kipi to Mikro Papigo. Distance - 20 km.
Greece. Mount Olympus, Meteora and Pindus Mountains in four days.
We had a 4 days trip into Greece to see Mount Olympus, Meteora and Pindus Mountains. The first day we've spent it traveling from Bucharest Romania to Katerini Greece passing through Bulgaria. In the second and third we've fulfilled our goals and in the fourth we've came back home. It was something different this time because we had a different perspective of Greece than the sandy beaches, blue waters and infinite coast lines, very much enjoyable as well.
HIKING IN GREECE - 1300 km of pure adventure - 2019
You think you know what Greece looks like? We thought the same...
Our thruhike across Europe brought us on the trails of Greece, the 13th country of this adventure. We hiked on the Epirus trail, followed the Pindus mountain range from North to South, climbed on Vardoussia and Mount Giona before reaching the mythical site of Delphi. From there we headed to the Aegean Sea, spent an amazing time on the island of Skopelos and went back on mainland on the Pelion peninsula. After that, Mount Olympus was calling us and we had no choice but climbing on its higest peak: Mytikas. We had wonderful mountain experience in the Pierian mountains before crossing the Lake Kerkini National Park, our last stop in Greece. That's it for the itinerary!
Our experience wasn't what we had imagined either. Have a look at the video to discover why!
◄COUNTRY EPISODES - 17 COUNTRIES TO DISCOVER►
From Portugal to Turkey, our journey on foot will lead us across 17 countries of Europe: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Turkey.
Our thru-hike is the perfect opportunity to discover the beauty of nature and culture in the old continent!

Hiking Meteora's Caves in Greece Travel Video Transcript:
Meteora's monasteries may get all the attention, but if you look a bit closer at the landscape you'll notice that it is dotted with caves - caves where men once dwelled! This is something that piqued our curiosity, so we devoted a whole morning to cave-hopping around the area.
So we have another fun day planned in Meteora. Today we're going around and visiting caves. And now there is a lot of different caves. Earlier in the morning we visited some that were used kind of like to keep farm animals, sheep and goats because they were very accessible and at a lower level. And right now we're visiting caves that were used by hermits and that means monks who wanted to be secluded and just live a very quiet simple life on their own.
So these monks in Meteora were extreme adventurers in my opinion. They wanted the caves that were really high up and could not be reached by others so that they could be in isolation on their own. So in order to reach these caves they would have literally had to scale using their hands the first time. And then use ropes and ladders to reach them later on.
The monks eventually built monasteries, but don't let that fool you into thinking they were any easier to access. Reaching the top involved a lot of bravado and a whole lot of upper body strength.
Next up we're going to be climbing the Holy Spirit Rock which is right behind us. This isn't going to be rock climbing. Apparently there is a trail around the other side so let's go follow our guide because he is already leaving without us.
In the afternoon we set our sights on the Holy Ghost Tower which sits in the middle of the valley. It was a good challenge and we were rewarded with some pretty breathtaking views from the top, but my favourite part was walking down the other side and coming face to face with a cave that once acted as a jail for monks!
We've been climbing up The Holy ghost tower and right now we've reached a little chapel inside a cave. So let's go have a look.
360 views from the top.
This is our reward for climbing Holy Spirit Tower. Fresh pomegranate! Mmmm.
And it is delicious. So refreshing.
So right now we are standing at the mouth of what I'm calling the naught monks cave. This was basically like a jail so if a monk was misbehaving he would be sent here and they had fourteen different ledgers which were basically like prison cells where the monks would be placed in isolation. So let's go inside and have a look.
Team Greece! Woo!

THE GREEK MOUNTAINS, S.03 EP. 18
There was more footage than we could squeeze in one vlog, therefore, I proudly present to you: METEORA, PART II, or the much cooler The Greek Mountains.
Situated in Kalabaka, Greece, we continue journeying through the hilly monasteries, finding several furry friends, and getting some of the most awe-inspiring views from the tallest rock pillars we have ever seen.

Hiking in Mount Olympus, Greece

Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece and the second highest in the Balkans, after Rila in Bulgaria. A compact yet enormous mass that imposingly dominates the borders of Macedonia and Thessaly.
An important area that has special biodiversity, in 1938 it was declared as the first national park in Greece. It is a mountain known all over the world due to the fact that in mythology and according to the ancient Greek religion, the Twelve Gods chose to inhabit it.

Hiking The Highest Peak In Taygetos Mountains, Greece
We attempted to hike to the top of Profitis Ilias today which is part of the Taygetos Mountain range in Peloponnese Greece. Profits Ilias (προφήτης Ηλίας, Ταϋγετος ) is the highest peak in the Taygetos Mountains, the summit is 2,404 meters high and the vegetation up changes quite dramatically.
It was an early start to beat the heat, which ended up being a good decision because we were able to have lunch on the mountain before heading back down.

Meal in Kalambaka, Greece, watching the Meteora rock climbers
On our travels to the monasteries of Meteora in Kalambaka, Greece, we stopped for a meal at a restaurant with a view of Meteora rock climbers behind the restaurant. Look at our delicious meal and view the heights that the climbers are going to.
We stopped here before going to the monasteries of the Meteora rock formations. The monasteries were precipitously built and are the largest complex of Greek Orthodox monasteries.
