La historia de Thessaly

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.

Historia oculta

Up in a net

For centuries visitors were pulled up in a net.

Until the 1920s the only way into many Meteora monasteries was by long ladders or a net hauled up by a rope and winch. Visitors liked to ask how often the rope was changed; the monks answered, 'When the Lord lets it break.' Steps were cut into the rock in the 1920s, but the old winch towers can still be seen.
