End of the road. Driving back South. Τέλος του ταξιδιού. Στο δρόμο της επιστροφής στα ίδια.

Before I end this series and show a couple of shots taken while driving back to Athens, i will post a couple of photographs of my reliable companion which took me around all the places i visited on the mountains. My 4X4 Daihatsu Terios. Its small but can take you off the road to places other similar cars can  not.
On the way back, i stopped near the rocks of Meteora, in Central Greece, to take a couple of photographs and show you those rocks, which are famous for the many monasteries on top of most of them. I did not have time to go higher to take a few better shots but promise to do so next time i drive by them.

Πριν τελειώσω με την σειρά των φωτογραφιών από το πασχαλινο ταξίδι στην Πίνδο, θα βάλω μερικές φωτογραφίες με τον πιστό και αξιόπιστο σύντροφο, για διαδρομές εκτός δρόμου, το DAIHATSU TERIOS. Με μετέφερε σε μέρη που άλλα, ακριβότερα, εκτός δρόμου οχήματα, δεν πάνε. Και στην άσφαλτο κινείται επίσης με αξιοπρέπεια.
Επίσης μερικές φωτογραφίες από μιά στάση έξω από τα Μετέωρα.

  5. I think this was a long and difficult ride on these mountain roads with falling rocks. The rocks in the last photos look like sculptures, very beautiful scenery.

  10. This is a remarkable place! It's nice to see your "friend" there. It helps give us a full picture of the trip. Also, your first pic reminds me of a road we took near Tucson, Arizona. It had been raining not long before and there were some dicy places in the road. The coloring looked similar. However, we were in a rented sedan, and it was not the right car for the trip! It's great to have a trusty vehicle that will get you where you want to go. Small is nice for the environment, too.

  16. Love the scenery -- it looks like you would need a 4X4 to traverse those roads. Here in the States it reminds me of the high desert regions we have , Spectacular scenery, Costas,,
