HOTELS IN THESSALIA
|
|
|
An area located in central Greece, the very fertile plain of Thessalia is bordered by Mts. Pindus, Olympos, Pelion, Orthris and Agrafa. A region steeped in myth and history due to its connections with the home of the gods (Olympos) and the Centaurs who inhabited Pelio, it is famous for the most unusual natural phenomenon of perpendicular rocks upon which Byzantine monks, approximatly 600 years ago built a monastic community which to this day are subject for discussion, as no-one can explain how these monasteries were built on top of these rocks.This is the Meteora, a fascinating almost lunar atmosphere in which monasteries were built so that monks could be close to God in their worship. |
