Meteora Walking Tour
Meteora, Greece
Why Walk Meteora
The monasteries of Meteora sit on top of massive sandstone pillars that rise up to 400 meters above the plain of Thessaly. Built from the 14th century onward by monks seeking isolation, six monasteries remain active today. The combination of the vertical rock formations and the monastery buildings perched on their summits is one of the most extraordinary sights in Europe.
