6Meteora – Monasteries Suspended in the Sky
In the heart of mainland Greece lies Meteora, a place so otherworldly it feels straight out of a fantasy novel. Towering rock pillars rise dramatically from the Thessalian plain, crowned by centuries-old monasteries that seem to defy gravity.
These “monasteries in the sky” were built by monks seeking isolation and spiritual elevation. Today, six of them remain active, connected by winding stairways and footpaths that offer breathtaking views of the valley below. Whether you visit at sunrise or sunset, the landscape glows with a mystical light that captures the soul.
Meteora is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also a symbol of human faith and resilience—a must-see for anyone seeking the spiritual side of Greece.
