[Meteora | Overwhelmed by the sky monasteries and the spectacular views! World Heritage Site in Greece]
— A mysterious landscape where nature and faith intertwine. A spectacular place you should visit at least once in your life —
"Meteora" is a group of monasteries built on huge rock formations towering above the city of Kalambaka in the central part of mainland Greece.
The monasteries, located on top of cliffs that make you wonder "how were they built?", are truly floating in the sky.
Currently, there are six monasteries that can be visited, and each one is a solemn place where you can deeply feel the history and culture of Greek Orthodox Church.
Just looking at it is a spectacular view, but you can also climb up to the monastery and see inside. ✨
