Created by nature and man, these amazing, huge, floating in the air sculptures are called Meteora. On the one hand, Meteora - a geological miracle of nature, which you must see with your own eyes to believe it, on the other - the Christian monasteries, based on the huge steep cliffs, majestic to the sky, create an indescribable feeling, causing both fear and admiration.
The rocks have acquired their strange forms and look like a "rock city". Meteora today is rightly called the "eighth miracle of the world" and is an important part of the Christian pilgrimage. Monasteries are located on high rocks up to 600 meters high.
In the past, there were 24 monasteries, but 6 monasteries are open nowadays: 4 for men and 2 for women.
The tour includes visits to two monasteries, both for men and women, where the guide will tell you about the history of their creation, the unique murals and icons stored there, for their recognition by UNESCO as a World Monument of Cultural Heritage and for the life of a monk. On the street there is a stop at the illustration lab and for lunch.

Olympus is a 6km long mountain range. The first stop of our trip is at an altitude of 1300m. From this point you can see a spectacular panoramic view of Northern Greece and the highest point of Mytikas Ridge at 2.918m and the equally famous peak of Stephani, known as the "throne of Zeus".
The next stop of our tour is the ancient city of Dion, which was founded in the 5th century BC. Ancient Greeks believed that if at the foot of Mount Olympus they built a city and worshiped the gods, then they would have a favorable attitude towards them. It was from Dion that Alexander the Great began his eastern campaign.
After that we head to Vergina. Vergina is the former capital of the Macedonian kingdom, the city of Aigai, where relatively recently in the 1960s the royal tombs of Philip II and his seventh wife Cleopatra's were discovered, as well as the tomb of Alexander IV, son of Alexander the Great and Roxanne.
