There is no other place to compare with Meteora. We felt an indescribable almost supernatural vibe. A must see! Awesome views, no other lifestyle compares to that of the the Monks living here.

One, if not THE, most impressive areas I have ever been to. The landscape itself is already unique, but the fact that they have built the monasteries on top of the pillars in the 14th century is just incredible. We travelled there by car and had no issues with finding parking spaces near each monastery, neither was it too packed. It was a really relaxed trip. Only important note that is not written anywhere: in the monasteries are toilets, but it is only these toilets that are on floor level, where you stand above. This is for women quite unhandy and you should know about that. I recommend to visit a toilet in the city of Kalambaka or Kastraki, before you drive up to the monasteries. The monasteries itself are differently 'designed' but all are really beautiful to visit. The streets up and down the mountains are in good condition, so it should be no problem to access it by car. This place is a must-see if you are anywhere near in Greece!!

The biggest of the monasteries of Meteora! It's got a truly stunning view on the east side toward the other monasteries. There are also several exhibitions inside here showcasing old clothes worn by the monks here, old religious texts and artworks. There's a large chapel with extravagant ornaments and frescoes dating back several hundreds of years. These may not be photographed or filmed, but can still be enjoyed by the naked eye.

Amazing.... Loved it.... Awesome.... Very beautiful.... Caves in the vicinity of Meteora were inhabited continuously between 50,000 and 5,000 years ago. The oldest known example of a built structure, a stone wall that blocked two-thirds of the entrance to the Theopetra cave, was constructed 23,000 years ago, probably as a barrier against cold winds – the Earth was experiencing an ice age at the time – and many Paleolithic and Neolithic artifacts of human occupation have been found within the caves.[7][9].

Stunning view and a life changing experience. I would definitely recommend it during the winter time. ( If you are a photographer and you want to bring a drone you must take permission from CAA )

Out of this world this place is simply amazing opened to the public to witness the great architecture and labor that went into constructing this magnificent monastery. Perished on top of the hill overlooking the lovely towns the place offers breathtaking views.
