Among the mountains of Pindos and Antichasia rise the rocks of Meteora, the most important monastic city after Mount Athos.
It seems that the first hermits settled at the cavities of the rocks during the 11th-12th century seeking spiritual redemption. Here, a lot of people continue to come looking for spiritual calm and peace. The impressive landscape creates awe to the visitors, while thanks to its unique character Meteora is included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO.

Meteora, Greece The gigantic rocks of Meteora are perched above the town of Kalambaka, at a maximum height of 400 m (1200 ft). The most interesting summits are decorated with historical monasteries, included in the World Heritage List of Unesco. Only 6 of them have made it through the centuries, from an initial estimated number of 24. Mostly dating to the 14th and until the 16th century, these monasteries were built by monks who were previously hermits in the area, living in individual caves. Once united, these monks took months and years to carry the construction material to the top of rocks, using ropes, folding ladders, nets and baskets, and with much determination. They then proceeded to build monasteries that deserve everybody’s awe. The monasteries had no access to electricity and water until recently and the monks and nuns have been long trained in obtaining efficiency. Visit the monasteries, even if your interests are not deeply religious. It is the only way to enrich your feelings of spirituality that this area already exudes, no matter how long or brief your sojourn in our beautiful land. 120 minutes

Fantastic day out. You have to see meteora once in your lifetime. Our guide was the owner of Pachis travel and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him. My husband and I are over 65 and fairly unfit. However we managed to do 380 steps to the Santa Barbara monastery and 572 to the great meteora. A spectacular and memorable day out

Spectacular sites to visit. Great experience with the guide although it was a long day. It doesn't seem a better way to get to Meteora. This is a full day trip.
