About
Meteora
The majestic rocks in Meteora dominate imposingly in Kalambaka between the mountains Koziaka and Antihasion and is a unique geological phenomenon along with an important monument of Orthodoxy.
Choose for your accommodation in Meteora a hotel overlooking the imposing rocks and your trip here will be unforgettable!
At the sight of these sacred rocks you will be dazzled by the grandeur of this giant stone complex.
According to geologists, the “tectonic horn” formations formed between the Koziaka and Antihasion mountains about 60 million years ago when the sea covering the area began to recede, dragging and stacking rocks on the seabed, which stabilized over the years.
Now, it is a protected monument of humanity by UNESCO and the largest monastic state in the country after Mount Athos!
Today, of the many monasteries in Meteora, only six operate: Agios Nikolaos Anapafsaeos, Metamorphoseos tou Sotiros or Megalo Meteoro, Barlaam, Roussanou, Agia Triada and Agios Stefanos.
A visit to one of the monasteries is a life experience regardless of the degree of faith that each of us have.
The contact with the monastic life, the spaces themselves, the unique energy, the contact with the unfamiliar, the rhythms that flow differently, are unique experiences.
The monks welcome the visitors and the pilgrims very hospitably in their little houses.
During easter, the mystical atmosphere in the monasteries of Meteora is unique.
The mist of winter may envelop the city and the stone forest of Meteora with a mystery, but spring is the ideal time to tour the monasteries and walk on the paths.
During your visit to the monasteries, take care of the appropriate attire required by the sanctity of the monasteries.
