A FEW hours outside Athens sits the rock-top monasteries of Meteora.
The word “meteora” means “middle of the sky”, or “in the heavens above”, and these people certainly mean it!
The town is a really important spiritual site, but it’s also a big draw for the less-religiously-more-naturally inclined.

You can climb up steps to the monasteries for a quick rush, and once you’re up there, you can move between them via, essentially, a rope railway
