Monasteries in the sky at Meteora, and the green villages of Pelion.
4 museumsThessaly is the great plain of central Greece, ringed by mountains: Meteora in the west, Mount Pelion and the port of Volos in the east.
At Meteora, monasteries stand on top of giant rock pillars, some 400 metres above the valley. Six are still lived in and can be visited, and the Great Meteoron has a museum of icons, manuscripts and old kitchens. In the east, the stone villages of Mount Pelion, the mountain of the centaurs in myth, look down on the sea, and Volos has a fine archaeological museum.
