Stone Bridge with Ancient Trees

October 9, 2022,Several Meteora Monastries – Monastery Megalou Meteorou Runde von Καστράκι

Break days at the very good campsite near Meteora. Very big and you have your peace. I was in the last corner. Lots of Germans, lots of cyclists ♥
Hike to the monasteries, which can be reached surprisingly quickly on foot. Impressive. In the evening I eat gift grapes 🍇
