5Meteora Monasteries
Meteora, meaning “suspended in the air,” is a surreal landscape of towering rock formations topped with Byzantine monasteries. Located in central Greece, this UNESCO World Heritage site consists of six active monasteries that were built between the 14th and 16th centuries by monks seeking solitude and spiritual enlightenment.
The monasteries, accessible by staircases carved into the rock, offer stunning views of the Thessalian Plain below. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or a spiritual seeker, Meteora is a must-visit destination that blends natural beauty with human ingenuity.
