Meteora, Monasteries Perched Atop High Rocks, Greece

Many centuries ago Greek Orthodox monks began the impossible task of building monasteries on rocks that appeared to be inaccessible. Meteora means "rocks in the air", and these remain home to the monasteries down to our time. The Meteora Valley clip is
a segment from "I Follow Apollo", the Intrepid Berkeley Explorer's free video presenting the highlights of Greece, including Athens, Olympia, Meteora, Sparta, the Byzantine Empire, Greek Folk Dancing, the islands of Mykanos, Santorini, Crete, & Rhodes, plus Ephesus in Turkey, and much more.

I appreciate your favorable review of this clip. Photographing Meteora was a challenge.

This one segment is part of my longer video of Greece, "I Follow Apollo", which you might want to check out, provided you have a high speed internet connection.
