Meteora 是希腊中部一群修道院的总称。我个人的感觉,它属于希腊最佳景点的前三甲。
仅次于首都雅典(Athens)和爱琴海上的圣托里尼(Santorini)岛。
第一次看到Meteora的照片,就不禁拍案叫绝:一个个石峰拔地而起。山顶和山腰间的
修道院与山崖浑然一体,像是从岩石中“崩”出来的,又好似在山石上雕琢而成。奇
特,壮观。充满震撼力。不被“雷”倒也难。
其实Meteora的希腊原文就有“悬浮的岩石”“悬在空中”等含意。它在东正教修道院
中的规模和重要性,排名第二。仅次于希腊东北角半岛上的Mount Athos(阿陀斯山)。
阿陀斯交通不如Meteora方便。景观的宏伟也“稍逊风骚”。更重要的是,阿陀斯严禁
女人入山。
Meteora已有近千年的历史。1988成为世界文化遗产。最初20个修道院散布在约六平方
英里的山间。现在保持完好的有六个。有的修道院只有一个Monk或Nun主持。大多对外
开放。
去Meteora可从雅典或从北面第二大城Thessaloniki走。汽车和火车都到Kalambaka,
那就是Meteora的所在地。
我从雅典走。火车票价约20欧元。Terminal B汽车站也可去Kalambaka,班次更多。
但时间比火车长。票价与火车差不多。我决定坐火车。8点50有一趟火车马上要走,
只剩半价“站票”了。结果我一上车就有空位“等着”我。四个半小时就到了目的地
Kalambaka。
Kalambaka的火车站和汽车站相距不远。下车后找旅馆很方便。去Meteora修道院也有
多种选择。
上山的沥青公路总长6 Mile多。每天有bus上午去,下午回。20分钟到山顶。单程票价
1.2欧元。出租车也多,3-4欧元单程。很多人坐车去,步行回。当然也有人步行来回。
WHO说了:爱走路的人长寿。呵呵。何况沿途风景也极具魅力,值得一步一“品”味。
最理想的是呆两天两夜。时间充裕,可尽情享受山上山下的一切。还能和附近的
Delphi胜地连起来。
在Meteora山间漫步,眺望远近美景。真像置身于仙境,有一种超尘脱俗的感觉。
“出家人”的人生其实也可以是很"美"的。
我有点信了。

下面的照片比较简单。共分三类:Kalamabala镇。山上的修道院。从山上往远处看。
具体的就不一一加说明了。
各位春节好!
Enjoy!

是很不错的。从雅典走交通也方便。
比去Delphi要直接方便得多。
