Photography Tour in Meteora
The best photos of Meteora aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Panoramic viewpoints will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Sunset viewpoint for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
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.

How to Plan This Photography Tour
