Meteora is one of the most extraordinary places in Greece, featuring giant rock pillars rising dramatically from the plains with historic Eastern Orthodox monasteries perched impossibly on their summits. This UNESCO World Heritage site combines stunning natural geology with spiritual heritage dating back to the 14th century. Six monasteries remain active today, accessible by steps carved into the rocks. The area offers breathtaking hiking trails, rock climbing opportunities, traditional villages like Kalambaka and Kastraki, and sunset views that are truly otherworldly.
