    El viaje a Meteora fue una experiencia inolvidable, los monasterios en las montañas son algo que hay que ver. El tren era cómodo, pero lo que realmente me gustó fue la tranquilidad del lugar, parecía que estábamos en otro mundo.

    Las vistas de Meteora son simplemente impresionantes y la organización del tour fue impecable, sin embargo, el viaje en tren se sintió un poco largo.
