Tired, but not tired enough, we arrive in Kalabaka and immediately hike up the hills for a view over Meteora. The next day we hire an electric scooter and visit two of the monasteries: Varlaam and the Great Meteoron Monastery. I cannot comprehend how hermits used to live in the caves that dot the sandstone rock formations. At night we stuff our faces with zucchini fritters and lamb stew.
