I was always curious whether monasteries of similar awe exist around the world! Very nice compilation indeed. I was recently back from Meteora. I have made my <a href="http://www.larios.gr/gallery_193122.html" rel="nofollow">Meteora photos</a> available online and I am informing you so as to complement this great article. More of my <a href="http://www.larios.gr" rel="nofollow">Greece photos</a> and <a href="http://www.larios.gr" rel="nofollow">World photos</a> are also there. Furthermore, you can find a brief relaxing photo <a href="http://www.larios.gr/section116382.html" rel="nofollow">Meteora slideshow</a>, that depicts this fabulous place in all its glory. Enjoy! Regards, Yannis Great article!
