What the operator writes about each stop

  3. Kastraki

    Visit St George the Mandilas. Saint George was a Greek who became an officer in the Roman army. His father was the Greek Gerondios from Cappadocia Asia Minor and his mother was the Greek Polychronia from the city Lyda. Lyda was a Greek city from the times of the conquest of Alexander the Great (333 BC), now in Israel. He became an officer in the Roman army in the Guard of Diocletian. He is venerated as a Christian martyr. There are many different customs around Greece honoring Saint George’s memory, but only one that we know of involve colorful head scarfs, climbing and dancing on the cliffs very edge all at the same time. It takes place on an old ruined monastery dedicated to Saint that was built inside a cave some 40 meters above ground on the north side of a Meteora rock.
