Stunning beyond words! We couldn't stop looking at the views from these monoliths with monasteries on the top of them. This unique geologic area held such history from the 9th century hermit monk caves to the 14th century monasteries, which became refuges from the Nazis during WWII.
Our tour guide, George, was so friendly and engaging. He genuinely enjoyed talking with us during the 1.5+ hour drive to Volos and back. He was so knowledgeable and told us so much about Greek history and culture. After the monasteries, he took us to a wonderful outdoor Greek restaurant with delicious authentic food (Taberna Panellinio Restaurant). George adapted his tour to our interests, was careful to get us back to our cruise ship on time, and was a very careful driver.
