[@RetirementTravelers]

We agree. Meteora and all of Greece is quite amazing. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

one of a kind place ❤🇬🇷

[@RetirementTravelers]

Yes it is, Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

[@knotgleo6663]

My bucket list keeps growing. 🤣 I appreciate the reality in your filming. Sometimes it’s “not easy choosing this route” and trekking all over the place. That was a big elephant but well worth it!! Thanks for another adventure 👍

[@gregfantom7]

What an amazing journey by two truly wonderful people , thank for "taking us" along , God bless you For those who don't know or maybe Just haven't realized , the greek word Meteora is also from where the word meteorite comes from .

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much for watching. We feel so blessed to have been able to see Meteora. Amazing place. John and Bev

[@Anonymous-One1]

What a cool experience to hike up to that monastery! Those views are awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Meteora is bucket list worthy. Well worth the trip up from Athens. Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. Meteora is a must see place for sure. Hope all is well and thanks for following along. John and Bev

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Very nice air b & b. Glad you hiked the trail instead of taking the bus. It was beautiful. That was some trek. What a cute couple you met, they found the right photographers. See, that's the reason you hiked instead of taking the bus. I'm very excited about visiting Italy with you two. Safe travels.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for following along and hope you have enjoyed Greece with us. Italy has been wonderful as well. Hope you are enjoying your Airstream and adventures around the country. John and Bev

[@Patrick-xo8ht]

That’s awesome! I did that 15 years ago on a tour bus and didn’t know hiking it was an option. Well done! Makes me want to go back.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. It was a very nice hike up from Kalambaka. Be sure to go in cooler weather. Safe travels. John and Bev

[@anuradharewatkar539]

Wonderful! We are heading to Greece in April and will be in Meteora in first week of May. Thank you for posting.

[@RetirementTravelers]

You will love it. Certainly a very unusual and special place. Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

[@erinaustin9968]

Bev, I Love that you’re open about the challenge of the hike. I worry too. Congratulations! I want to do this now. I was a big fan of the donkey trek, although my husband was in to it. Everyone has their own connection to travel.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for following along with our crazy adventure. Meteora is an amazing place. John and Bev

[@bradmartin237]

Amazing video, John and Bev!! We so enjoyed hanging out with you in Athens before experiencing Metéora ourselves. Your footage and comments do it justice. It is indeed a surreal floating world unlike anywhere else on Earth. Your sense of pace, musical numbers and wonderful photography keep getting better. Buona fortuna in Italia! Can’t wait for your Italian videos to come out.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. Meteora is amazing. We had a great time with you guys in Athens. How was the Samaria Gorge hike on Crete? John and Bev

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Bravo Bev!!!!!!! What an amazing hike and adventure! So cool you met that couple filled my heart with happiness! Great video guys!!! ~Cara 🥰

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. It was really cool meeting that couple and getting to take their picture. Thanks for following along. John and Bev

I just saw you pass by in Venice! Such a sweet channel, instant subscribe!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much! Safe travels. John and Bev

[@heidixxx2454]

I went to these bout 25 years ago!! Via a tour bus. Flabbergasting structures. Women were required to wear long skirts to enter. There was a basket of skirts with elastic waists for pulling on over pants. Do you remember if that was still required?

[@RetirementTravelers]

Amazing place. Yes, they still have a basket (probably the exact same skirts 🤣). Women need to have knees covered. Safe travels, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

[@TrekkingwithMikeandDeb]

Fabulous hike!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. Meteora is definitely worth visiting! John and Bev

[@tarynnicosie846]

[@jiyise]

another beautiful and lovely vlog. Reminds of our experience in Meteora. Bev, which kind of watch do you wear, give you altitude?

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. We loved Meteora. Apple Watch that counts flights climbed. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

[@jiyise]

@@RetirementTravelers Thanks for your quick reply.

[@jackiesnell3481]

We enjoy your videos and adventures so much! Wondering if you ever would share your whole itinerary for someone else to be able to follow? It would be fun to take the same year long trip you did.. thanks

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much for following along. This has been a crazy year and not sure you would want to follow, but we would be glad to try and help. Send us an email through our website. Thanks. John and Bev

[@jackiesnell3481]

@@RetirementTravelers THANK YOU!!!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

How long was the hike to the top? Bev had the hard job of holding the selfie stick and filming while hiking!

[@crystaljames9455]

I’m trying to decide if I should visit Meteora or Corinth. We don’t have time for both. But when I see you’re video, I think Meteora is a place I can’t miss. How did you get your train tickets? Online?

[@jimknarr]

What did you do about water on your 10-mile day hike through Meteora ???

[@RetirementTravelers]

We had a small day pack with some waters. We also stopped along the way and had something to drink. John and Bev

[@borntoroam2468]

Wow, spectacular! Congrats on summiting to the top! Off topic, as recently new to your channel, so still catching up, but just wanted to ask, are you slow travelers, i.e., staying/renting for one mth or more, in one location?? My husband & I are 2.5yrs out from early retirement & are looking into the slow travel lifestyle through Europe. By the way, hello from USA, great info so far!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying our channel. We don’t necessarily do slow travel, but we have been traveling regionally in Europe this year. For example, 6 weeks in northern Italy, but in 6 different places located 1-2 hours apart by train. 1 week per location in Europe this way minimizes plane flights, but still enables us to see many places. John and Bev

[@budiprasetia2290]

How many miles total?

[@RetirementTravelers]

About 10 miles total. Great hike! John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
