Meteora — The "Soaring Above the Earth" Holy Sanctuary

Duration: Full Day (up to 10 hrs)

Trip Description

Meteora is a unique monastic community set amid a striking rocky landscape. It stands as one of Greece's most remarkable landmarks, known for its spiritual aura and majestic atmosphere. Many hermits chose Meteora as their retreat, seeking to draw closer to God in their final years by renouncing worldly possessions and dedicating themselves to prayer and spiritual devotion. The monasteries, perched on the towering cliffs, are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

On this tour, you will visit two of the six active monasteries: either the Great Meteoron (Transfiguration of the Lord) or Varlaam (All Saints), and Rousanou (St. Barbara) or St. Stephen.
