2Meteora: Monasteries in the Sky

Meteora, a geological wonder in central Greece, is home to monasteries perched atop towering rock pillars. The word “Meteora” means “suspended in the air,” and these monasteries seem to defy gravity as they cling to the immense sandstone cliffs.

Visiting Meteora is not only a visual feast but also a spiritual journey. Accessible by stairs carved into the rock or suspended bridges, the monasteries offer a glimpse into a unique way of life. The views from the monastic complexes, especially at sunset, are nothing short of awe-inspiring. As you stand amidst these rock formations, you’ll appreciate the harmony between nature and human ingenuity.
