A rare look inside ALL 6 Meteora Monasteries (and Hermit Caves)

[@Anastasis-is-here]

This is a unique phenomenon and is considered to be natural, human and divine wonder all at once. It is believed to be a gift of Poseidon since people knew that it was once under the sea. Other natural wonders in Ellas are: Vikos gorge (it is a Guinness world record sight), the dragon lake of Tymfi, the forest of stone and the Lemnian dessert which is the most unique dessert in the world duo to it's stones. Rhodes's butterflies valley, Corfu's moon like shore and Melos' white shores alongside Santorini's shores are some of the more famous ones.

Makes a mini documentary about Meteora Monasteries, then 21:35 legendary reaction 🤣🤣🤣 I would have rang that bell tho! Language barrier would be my excuse lol Good job m8, informative and well made vid. Have fun and be healthy. +1 sub

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Ha ha! Thanks a lot mate! I should've rung the bell, I was trying to be respectful 😅. I loved filming that video and I'm glad you liked it. Hope you enjoy the NYC series, thanks again 😊

[@flowerpower7308]

Thank you for the video! ❤You needed 6 months, I needed 25 years. I finally have seen all 6, this year, în June, exactly the way I always wanted, hiking from Kalambaka and walking all the way. 6 hours from the hotel and back, 3 monasteries a day. I loooved every second of it. Indeed not too much to see inside but the views were amazing. And that path, close to St Stephen, I wanted to walk on it after seeing some people on top of those rocks on the first evening when I arrived în town but it looked too scary. Stay strong and enjoy your travels!🤗

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Wow! Good on you! That's some serious hiking! My philosophy has always been "Bus up and walk back down" ha ha! I don't think I would've been able to go uphill to that extent so well played you! Thanks fit watching and supporting me, it's very very much appreciated! Wishing you plentiful travels! 😊😊 Al

[@flowerpower7308]

@@TravelSavedMyLife Thank you! Same to you! May all your dream travels become true!🙏🤞

[@carol9136]

Oh my holy God!!! You are freaking hilarious!!!! I was just at 2 of the monasteries today - St Stephens and the Holy Trinity, on a bus tour from Athens. I became so fascinated i just had to learn more, and came across your video, split my gut laughing! And guess what, I was one of those cute grannies working so hard to get up the steps, so glad you decided not to cheer them on, as you say "a time and a place" but holy smokin' God you made me laugh so hard and thank you so much for this video, it was my evening viewing after a day trip to Meteora :))))

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

I can't thank you enough for this comment Carol. I'm so grateful for your feedback, it made my day! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and seeing the monasteries! It remains one of the most spectacular places I've ever been whilst also providing me with excruciating leg and lower back pain from those godforsaken steps! 😂 I'm heading to the middle east in a couple of weeks! Thanks again for your support, it really does mean everything to me! Wishing you comfortable and exciting travels! Al 😊

[@IndayArvinTraveladventure808]

hahahah random door check.. :D you're funny :D and that icons in churches i mean... you can feel its energy through the video!! amazing, thank you!!

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Thank you 😊 I tried a few but they were all locked 😅 Glad you liked the video and thanks very much for watching 😊

[@MrKotsokotso]

Being a Monk doesnt mean youre cut off from the rest of the world, it means you dedicate your life to God. Youll see that especially if you ever visit Mount Athos (recommended), where youll meet an Italian Chirurgeon, a German IT specialist and other interesting people who left the "wordly" things to focus on the spiritual. They are though, people of their times, so use mobiles, internet, have websites, communicate etc. There are others, more strict, but many do follow their times. Save travels

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Interesting. A monks life is enviable in a way. Thanks a lot for supporting me by commenting, it's really appreciated 😊😊😊

[@jennyjou]

DONT DO IT, CAT!!! U have so much to live for😂

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

I'm glad it had a change of heart and survived 😂😂 thanks so much for watching 😊😊😊

You did an amazing job on this video! Hello from a Greek in Texas.

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Thanks mate, I appreciate that. I've never been to Texas, I really want to one day soon! Thanks for your support!

[@bfaith40]

Well done you! That is a remarkable amount of walking!!!

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Thank you! You are the first person to notice that! It almost killed me! I had 2 days bed rest back in Athens after Meteora 😅 Thanks for watching my video, best wishes!

[@G_Okr]

Kalambaka has great river trouts fried in butter.

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Aw I'm sad I didn't try it. I went to the Taverna Gardenia a few times and had some delicious meals. Greek food is genuinely my favourite food! I'm posting it on Instagram over the next couple of days.

[@yotboon3955]

so funny & refreshing :)

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Thanks a lot 😊😊😊

Eladdy JR.. miss that bloke

[@westnblu]

Meteora. Have u ever wondered why weather forecasters are called meteorologists? Hint. [Nothing to do with meteors] haha and the science of weather forecasting is called meteorology? Yes... bingo! . A little bit of trivia for u. It derives from the Greek word Meteora which means sky high , up in the sky and where this town got its name from.

[@TravelSavedMyLife]

Oh nice! Thanks a lot, that's interesting! An incredible place!

[@TMPOUZI]

@@TravelSavedMyLife it's from the greek word "meta = after" and "ero = lift" and it means something that is floating above the earth

[@tomirving1387]

As if something is what it looks like.... Nice touch about John. 👍👍

Thank you very much for subscribing, it really means a lot to me. I love Greece and I'll definitely be back. Thanks again!

[@spirosgreek1171]

@Travel Saved My Life and an advice from a native. Avoid purchases near monuments. They always charge higher there. When it comes to water and/or snacks, always try to buy from towns, cities etc. We're it's cheaper

[@aristonvequizo4116]
