Many visitors are drawn to Greece by her past: by the legends of the Minoan civilisation, the myths of the Olympian gods, and monuments of classical antiquity such as the Parthenon. This is the Greece of sacred monasteries, where manuscripts of ancient authors were preserved and exquisite frescoes and mosaics were created. This is the Greece of Mistra, of Mount Athos, and of a thousand roadside shrines and chapels. And this is the Greece of the Meteora (the monasteries 'in mind air'), in the heart of the fertile plain of Thessaly.
