点评:The monasteries of Meteora perched high atop cliffs were built between the 13th and 14th centuries. In addition to their historical and spiritual importance, the views of and from the monasteries are amazing. The second of two monasteries that we visited on our overnight coach tour from Athens was St Stephan's Holy Monastery. It was an interesting visit, but this monastery is not as enjoyable as Varlaam. Plus, the views were good but not as stunning. It was incredibly busy with other coach tours which may have influenced my experience. It is the easiest of the monasteries to access as visiting does not require climbing any stairs and there is a bridge that enters from the parking area. Almost every coach tour to Meteora stops here because of this easy accessibility. If you are traveling independently and have the ability to visit any of the monasteries, I would choose to visit the others instead of St Stephen's Monastery because of these crowds.
