Meteora Holy Trinity Monastery

Meteora - Holy Trinity

Walking up to the Holy Trinity Monastery was very interesting. From the distance you can see some kind of transportation system with horizontal ropes. I assumed that was the only access to the monastery and was preparing for a dangerous ride.

It turned out the system is only used to carry goods. You park on a nearby cliff (left on the photo). You then walk down to the base of the cliff and go up the stairs to the monastery.

I didn’t take many photos inside the monastery. The only one I can offer you is one from the transportation room.
