Meteora Greece

Rock climbing in a truly unique and historical place like Meteora Greece, is like being on another planet in a different time. Visiting Meteora for the first time was mind blowing. Adventurous climbing yet in a relaxing holiday experience with sunny and warm weather, amazing food and comfortable accommodation.
