Crépuscule grec
Sur un banc, face aux rochers qui coiffent le village, la lumière de midi change un visage aimé en statue.

On the road here
Giant rocky monoliths loom menacingly above a colourful Mediterranean town. Six monasteries float high overhead, as if suspended from the skies.
Μετέωρα is one of the most beautiful rock formations I have ever had the chance to visit.
The food does not disappoint, and the people are kind to us. It is a refreshing experience after Albania, Bosnia, and Croatia, where over-tourism has stripped away much of the warmth from the service workers we encountered.
I am glad I chose to take this detour on my way to Thessaloniki.
