Soaring In The Clouds

I read many romantic books about Greece when I was a student. No, not about the antient times. About modern life. To be more precise, about the places of incredible beauty. And about orthodox monasteries where the life is so as it was centuries ago when the founders come here. In those cases when the women can enter the territory of the monastery, they have to wear covering clothes, the trousers are forbidden too.

Places like this, Meteora. The name means "soaring in the clouds".

Thank you, Mark, I have moderated comments because I have too many spam comments in my blogs.

I would like to go there once too. I wanted to visit the monasteries there. Maybe if I can do it, I'll transvest in a man to enter in some of them. :-)))

:-) You are right, Footiam, and they say the rules are very-very strong there.

Это не то ли место где снимали какой-то фильм про агента 007?

Я, честно говоря, не в курсе, но слышала много раз про эти места у нас, там монастыри-то православные, насколько я понимаю, ну и какая-то страшная благодать от них, но я сейчас точно не помню. Народ очень сильно туда хотел было одно время.
