Meteora
Serene, spiritual, magical, mystical, extraordinary, breathtaking, immense, inspiring, impressive. These are only some of the words people very often use in an effort to describe the Meteora phenomenon, an awe-insipring site that words cannot actually fully describe. Immerse yourself in nature’s grandeur, history, and architecture, and connect with your spiritual side.
The vertical cliffs of Meteora, rising up to 400m above Kalambaka, offer absolute isolation, inner peace, and harmony. The historical monasteries located at the top of the cliffs, are a true wonder of the world and a testament to human determination and devotion.
