A graduate of the University of Rhode Island, Miles Daileader earned his bachelor of science in business administration and finance and broadened his experience by studying in Greece. While studying abroad, Miles Daileader enjoyed traveling in his leisure time, but he considers Meteora to be the most amazing site he visited.
On the list of World Heritage sites from UNESCO, Meteora encompasses numerous monastic buildings and other historic structures, as well as astounding views of natural landscapes. Located near the villages of Kastraki and Kalambaka, Meteora lies in the north-central region of Greece. Its name means being suspended in the air. True to that name, it hosts enormous rocky pillars topped by monasteries.
The Great Meteoro Monastery, for instance, sits atop an enormous rock formation, lifting it high above the surrounding countryside. As the oldest and largest of the monasteries, it deserves significant attention. Established by Saint Athanasios the Meteorite near the end of the 14th century, the Great Meteoro Monastery also holds later embellishments, such as frescoes from the 16th century, and offers spectacular views.
