Meteora is a unique, special place where ancient monasteries sit precipitously atop vast rock pillars. High above the town of Kalambaka, you can explore centuries-old buildings of immense spiritual significance, hundreds of meters up in the air.

This hugely popular ancient city is the second largest in Greece and is thousands of years old. Its history is incredibly rich, with heavy influences found throughout from its Roman, Byzantine and then Ottoman past. Due to its geographical location, Thessaloniki has been a site of immense importance in Greece for millennia. Hailed as a cosmopolitan hub of art, culture, architecture and gastronomic experiences, it remains an important city in the country and draws tourists in droves to each year.

At 2,918 meters, the highest mountain in Greece has long been a mythical place, where the Gods of Ancient Greece were said to reside. These days though, people visit for a legendary experience of their own: partaking in mountaineering and other outdoor pursuits in a location renowned for its fantastic and diverse fauna and flora, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Litochoro, known as the City of the Gods, is about 100km away from Thessaloniki and the gateway that most people use to explore the mountain.
