MeteoraThe holy rocks of the God, a true wonder of nature
As you approach Meteora, you will be greeted by a sight that seems straight out of a fairytale. Massive rock pillars, reaching heights of up to 400 meters, sculpted by prehistoric rivers and crowned by otherworldly monasteries, are monuments to the power of nature and faith.
The monasteries of Meteora, a testament to human ingenuity and devotion, seem to defy gravity, creating a surreal and breathtaking landscape that captures the imagination of the visitors. Monasticism here began in the 11th century with the first hermits arriving from Mount Athos to retreat to niches in these heavenly pillars.
The monasteries of Meteora are of great cultural and natural significance and are honorably included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Visiting Meteora is not only a visual feast but also a spiritual journey. As you ascend the winding paths that lead to the monasteries, you will feel a sense of tranquility and serenity enveloping you.
