Meteora

Being the most important cave in the Greek territory and one of the most significant ones in the European continent, Theopetra Cave is located between Trikala and Meteora and reveals that the area has been inhabited from the Stone Age. This is the cave that was used as a shelter-residence and which favored the first stages of human civilization in Thessaly, where the oldest footprints of Greece were found – about 130,000 years old! They are the second oldest footprints, behind those of Terra Ammata in France, which are 380,000 years old. The traces, as well as the findings that originate from the revolution of the Late Age Stone, are among the greatest memorials of human existence.

Theopetra Cave – the origin of all

Did man climb Meteora Rocks, so as to reach the sky, in his pursuit of peace and perfect harmony? Looking for a humble life, he found shelter in natural cavities, where the first stone of the most remarkable world Monastic Community was laid. Nature embraced faith and faith protected it through prayers. In the 14th century, the first monastic community and the Monastery of Great Meteoron were founded. Over the years, followed the foundation of another 20 floating monasteries, which seem to have been in these rocks since the primitive their formation. Today, the Monastery of Agios Nikolaos Anapafsas, the Monastery of the Transfiguration of Christ or Great Meteoron, the Monastery of Varlaam, the Monastery of Roussanou, the Monastery of Holy Trinity and the that of Saint Stephen welcome visitors and pilgrims from all over the world to a land of sanctity and unchanged mental uplift.

Meteora – Monastic community

Pyli

Palaiokarya is a village with many roots. It is usual for people to need some space in order to build their own history. Being all together, but at the same time at some distance, offers them tranquility. This is how they can find their place in the natural environment. Somewhere there, only a few kilometers from Pyli on the way to Tsoumerka, the small river of Palaiokaritis keeps on flowing. In this case as well, a stone-built single-arched bridge connects both banks, while two barriers – one is right at the back of the bridge – let water rush, forming waterfalls. This scenery is accompanied by the sounds of water in every season. In autumn and winter, its rushing babbling creates a steam that surrounds the place in a remarkable way; in spring, the place is flourishing; and finally, in summer, a dive in these waters is hard to resist. 
Apart from the barrier and the stone-built bridge, we have the chance to learn about another vivid tradition of everyday life, which is the dristela of Palaiokarya, a natural laundry where people still wash their household covers, while corn flour is ground right next to the local watermill.
