Here’s a look at the best places to visit in Greece.

In this episode of the David’s Been Here web show, David takes viewers through the beautiful lands of Meteora, Greece. Situated in Thessaly, Meteora lies in the heart of Greece. Meteora literally translates into 'suspended in the air’. Here David shows and tells us what to see and do in Meteora, Greece.
Meteora has two main towns, Kastraki village and the town of Kalabaka, which is home to the majority of hotels, restaurants, and shops. A must-do for anyone is a guided half-day bus tour. You’ll get to experience the unique landscapes of Meteora's stone forest. Even from the bus there are incredible vistas. You’ll stop at the Great Meteoran Monastery, which is the oldest, tallest, and largest monastery here. Admission to the monastery is 3 euros.
David’s bus tour also stops by one of the most ancient sites in Greece, Theopetra Prehistoric Cave. Since excavations began in the 80’s several important finds have been made. Among them include human bones, stone tools and human footprints dating back 135,000 years!
Meteora also has a lot in store for adventure travelers. One of the main activities is hiking through the Stone Forest. When you go on your hike, your guide will give you history lessons and legends along the way. If you’re willing to do a short but challenging climb, you’ll be rewarded with picturesque views from Dragon’s Cave.
Adrenaline junkies: Meteora has you covered. If you want to bring the adventure up a notch, try scramble hiking. This type of hike is similar to rock climbing but requires less equipment and the use of your hands to pull yourself up the ropes. You’ll be rewarded with epic views of Kalabaka. Traditional rock climbing is also an option for experienced and newbie climbers alike.
And if you didn't know Meteora has wineries! Loudas Winery is a family-run boutique winery 5 minutes from Kalabaka. They’ve been open since 2006 and specialize in both Greek and international varieties. Come to taste some of Meteora’s most popular wines and buy gifts for your family and friends back home. If you’re there during the September harvest season you’ll get to see the winemaking process first hand, and possibly get a tour from the owner himself.
If you’re wondering how to limit what to see and do in Meteora, just know this: You CAN’T miss a sunset tour. There are two popular viewpoints where groups gather to see the sunset. It is truly a sunset you won’t soon forget. It’s also a great time to photograph the dramatic rock formations that Meteora is known for.
If you thought you knew Greece, think again.

Touring Meteora, Greece Travel Video Transcript:
Well hello from Greece! Sam and I are currently visiting Meteora which means suspended in the sky. This is a place that is really well known for its monasteries built atop these rocks. And the landscape is usually out of this world but as you can see we are dealing with a bit of fog and rain today. So it is going to be a bit tricky. Um, we were planning to do a bit of hiking actually but I think that is not going to work out so we're going to settle for some monasteries and caves instead. So let's get ready and go.
Since the weather wasn't really cooperating we ended up hopping in a van and driving out to some different look out points around Meteora. Everywhere we turned we were greeted with sweeping views of the towns below, impressive monasteries seeming to defy gravity, and imposing rock towers that looked out of this world. The rain did eventually clear up and that's when we went back to our original plan for a hike around Meteora.
Okay guys, so we are finally hitting the trails. It's going to be a 10 kilometer hike. So far we've already been seeing ruined monasteries and the landscapes are amazing. So let's continue. We have to catch up with our group.
Behind me are some massive boulders which are really popular for rock climbing. We're not really into that so we're just doing a hike today. But if you're into rock climbing you've got to try it over here.
The hike was a really easy one and perfect for most fitness levels. Our guide lead us down dirt trails and we learned that there is a network of over 35 kilometers of foot paths in this area. Along the way he pointed out strange rock formations, various mushrooms growing in the forest, and the best part was hearing the tales behind each of the ruins we visited.
This is the place where you can taste the echo. Listen! Echo! Woo!
It's raining outside, we've got an abandoned monastery in the background and we're going to do our best echoes.
So we've been visiting a lot of different ruined or abandoned monasteries and this is one of them. Now there is a pretty interesting story behind this one. Apparently, monks used to live here and one day they were out who knows doing some gardening or whatever when a group of people came over and they just took over their home. They started squatting and they took control of the monastery for over 80 years. So the poor monks had to find somewhere else to live. Now today this one has been renovated but you can't actually visit it. So we're just admiring it from a distance. Pretty spectacular I'd say.
The rain clouds have returned and it is pouring right now. That is the end of our 10 kilometer hike.
Okay, so it is still raining but we are going to go visit the biggest monastery here in Meteora. It's called the Grand Meteoron. Low and behold. It's just over there. We've got our umbrellas. Let's go visit it.
Any tips on visiting here? Yes! I actually do have a tip. So prior to coming to Meteora I would have thought okay let's hop on a bus, we'll reach the monastery. Visit the monastery and that will be it. But if you do it that way you're missing out on so much more because the landscapes here are incredible. So I would recommend doing a hike. Kind of like what we did this morning because then you really get to admire the monastery, see them from a distance. You get to visit caves and also visit the abandoned ruins of former monasteries that are kind of hidden and you wouldn't normally be able to spot if you were on the main road. So something to consider. You can get a bit of exercise and really enjoy the landscapes.
It wasn't until our final morning in Meteora that the rain clouds finally cleared and we had blue skies over the valley. Though I have to say, we still loved it even in the rain, and that's the sign of a good visit!
This is part of our Travel in Greece series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Greek culture, Greek arts, Greek foods, Greek religion, Greek cuisine and Greek people.

In this episode from the Meteora, Greece series, David takes us around to the best restaurants in this area of Thessaly. If you didn’t know, Meteora is known for its hearty cuisine of meat, vegetables, and delicious desserts.
Join David at the first stop: Restaurant Meteora in the town of Kalambaka (also written Kalabaka and Kalampaka). Four generations and thousands of customers later, Restaurant Meteora is still serving up generous portions of slow cooked casseroles, pies, stews, side dishes and more…
Another favorite place to eat in Meteora is Panellinio Restaurant (AKA Taberna Panellinio) in the central square of Kalambaka. My favorite dish here was definitely the amazing lamb. The tzatziki was also amazing to say the least. Aside from the lamb, Panellinio has daily specials of home cooked dishes that are best enjoyed beneath the shaded outdoor terrace
Mikro Nixterino is another fantastic suggestion about where to eat in Meteora. This family-owned taverna is located in the small village of Diava, southwest of Kalambaka. Here David dined on a Greek specialty called kokoretsi (lamb innards wrapped in intestines). It’s a delicacy that takes a long time to prepare and is usually eaten during Easter.
Meteora Panorama is another incredible place to eat in Meteora. Known for its incredible vistas of Kalambaka, Meteora Panorama’s claim to fame is its signature dish of veal, eggplant, and four cheeses baked in a clay pot. The fried zucchini balls are also excellent.
Next stop on this amazing culinary journey through Meteora is Spitiki Gefsi in Kalambaka to try spanakopita (spinach pie) for breakfast.
Kafe-Ouzeri Fortounis is another great must-try in Kalambaka because it’s not your typical restaurant. Here, you get a small plate of food for every glass of ouzo or tsipouro you order.
Taverna to Paramithi is another great place to dine in Kalambaka. It’s a cozy place where people come to eat and enjoy traditional Greek music. A standout dish that David enjoyed here was the stuffed mushrooms. You can grab a seat inside out out, whichever you choose!
So, there you have it! These were David’s best suggestions about where to eat in Meteora, Greece.

I visited Meteora, Greece and I'll tell you, it is one of the most beautiful places I've seen in a long time.

Exploring the magical and mystical Meteora
Well this is where the tourists don’t go
When you come to Meteora make sure that
you do a hiking tour because this is spectacular
Echo!
We’re here on the ancient footpath
which used to be the only way you could reach
the monasteries
pretty cool
So this hike is really interesting because we’re
going behind all of the stone pillars
and we’re seeing a monastery that can’t be seen from the road
sower’s off the actual tourist route
and seeing some of the more quiet monasteries
the one behind me is one that they use for a retreat
to get away from the tourists in the high season
Does it count if I say what my wish is?
I wish the weather would change and
the sun would come out over Meteora
So before 1922 they way that you got up here
was they put you in a small little net
and two monks would stay up here and much that wheel around
and as the rope got shorter and shorter that’s how you’d get up
quite an adventure
And here’s the sun
Had a great time here in Meteora exploring
the beautiful monasteries and just stunning landscape
ciao!
