from Mt. Olympus		  
 

We follow the

  Take advantage
of the opportunity
to swim in fresh
river pools

is sparkling
clear, creating
interesting
rock formations

Next stop is the
village of Kalambaka

  
 

It is world-famous
for its proximity
to the Meteora cliffs

  One of the
peculiar rock
formations
at Meteora		  
  Rock-climbing
among nature's
works of art
is a favorite
pastime at Meteora		  
 

In addition to the
wild rock formations,
the fact that Monasteries
are precariously perched
on top of them is what
makes Meteora so famous

  
  We will enjoy visits
to two such monasteries		  
 

One will be the
Varlaam Monastery,
seen here in the
distance

  
  At the conclusion
of our tour we return
to historic Athens		  
  Enjoy a guided
tour of some of
the city's most
famous landmarks		  
  Admire colorful
traditional costumes
and get ideas for your
next costume affair		  
 

Our final hike will
be through the
Old City on our
way to our
farewell dinner

  
 

Don't stand there
like a statue!

Use those legs for
a more exhilarating
adventure . . .
