Today was special. We started by visiting the amazing Meteora Monasteries. Perched high on pinnacles of rock they impress in every way. A special treat was Costas, our guide, helping us understand the icons (paintings) in the greek orthodox churches.
Then off we were to a small mountain village on the slopes of Mt. Olympus. Panteleimoneis is quiet and picturesque. The buildings are all from the 1600s and we have rooms in a one overlooking the valley below. We first had mountain tea and then an hour later a home cooked meal from the family that owns the rooms. Wild Boar was the main meat. Most are now walking the cobblestone streets looking at shops.
Tomorrow its off to Mt. Olympus. We haven't seen Zeus yet but our room looks at to the Mt.
