CONCLUSION
*
The research led us to the conclusion that, while we are so close to
Meteora, 48.7% of the students have not paid a visit with
their parents yet.
*
The 62.7% of schools have visited
the monasteries in Meteora.
* Motivated
by the outcomes of this research and constructive dialogue with the
students of our school, we decided to take them on a visit to the
monasteries of the Meteora rocks through a rather planned itinerary. Our
itinerary was named: 'The ever shining
lighthouse of Orthodoxy'.
