Meteora: The Incredible Cliff Monasteries Of Northern Greece | From the Mountains to the Shoreline

From mountain ranges with snow dusted peaks and the clear blue sea, the beautiful country of Greece boasts 13,000 km of shoreline. Today we look at the East, starting in Chalcis and making our way up to Mount Olympus, before seeing the incredible cliffs and monasteries of Meteora. Along the way we meet a variety of locals who show us the art of drinking Tsipouro, how to get heavy items into a cliffside monastery, and more.

Past and present in a beautiful country, whose population has been crushed by austerity for several years. But none of this is the subject of discussion here. In the cradle of Western civilization, monasteries and the cult of Saint George are transformed into a tourist attraction. Can politics no longer exist in Greece? Images of the human suffering of Syrian immigrants mistreated by racists and impoverished Greek women were carefully avoided. This would compromise the lightness of the documentary, whose objective is to awaken curiosity and encourage tourism. People shouldn't visit a real country with real problems or get involved with sensitive everyday Greek issues, but travel in an unreal world of shadows projected deep inside this immense cave that is RUclips.
