Meteora is known for its monasteries that sit on top of towering rock formations.
Description
The monks that live in the area are Eastern Orthodox and fled to Meteora as a result of the invasion of the Turkish army.
There are 6 monasteries in Meteora, although at one point there would have been over 20, and as a result this is one of the most spectacular religious sites in Greece.
Meteora is crowded with ancient boulders and monolithic pillars and this is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site as the rock formations offer one of the most haunting and beautiful landscapes in all of Europe.
