This is the final stop on our tour of Greece. We are visiting the famous monasteries built on top of tall rock formations. The monasteries are home to Christian Monks and Nuns. Within the monasteries are churches of the eastern orthodox type. Our guide gave us a detailed explanation of all the icons painted on the walls and the ceiling. Suffice to say that the depictions were a narration of the life of Christ. It seems that this was the way common folk were able to understand the narration because many couldn't read. No photos were allowed inside the churches.

Heading back to Athens today. For lunch we stopped over at a special restaurant where the meals were prepared ahead of time. We had to line up and pick and choose our entrees.
