After breakfast, we only hopped to Volos, the bigger town on the peninsula to charge the car to maximum. A fast charger gives you just enough time for a coffee which is exactly what we did. Afterwards, it was a long drive from the Pelion Peninsula to Meteora. Number 3 felt pretty sick again.
Meteora is just stunning. We were super lucky with the weather but all we did today was take the scenic route and enough the viewing “rocks” to look around.
With a stop at a supermarket, we were on the campground just in time for some home-cooked pasta. Greek food is delicious but we really craved something different for one evening.
Searching for a coffee place
Found a place! Really only did coffee so we also stopped at a bakery to get croissants
Back to the car, along the waterfront so we could look at all the boats
Poor Number 3 felt sick again from all the bends in the road and didn’t want any lunch
And then, mountains appeared on the horizont (geez, the car is dirty from all the Sahara sand!)
The first monastery of Meteora perched on a rock that we saw
But the rocks jutting out of the landscape would have been cool even without the monasteries
Quite impressive
There are about 9 (?) monasteries left in Meteora
The monks and nuns fled the bloodshed and made their monasteries almost invincible
Little explorer found a bug. It’s shiny!
This perch gave me vertigo. I only took pictures once I was back down
The kids are having a good time on the view point
Sitting down made it a little better
Four in one view
Up to the edge
You come around a bend, you get a view
What a cool road!
Stopping to go grocery shopping. The mountains are still there
The campground also had a view. It was the most crowded one we camped on so far.
