The sacred monasteries of Meteora in Trikala, Greece
Perched atop immense towering rock pillars in Trikala in Central Greece, the sacred monasteries of Meteora seem suspended between earth and sky.
Since the 14th century, these six remote Eastern Orthodox monasteries have clung like eagles’ nests to immense sandstone peaks rising abruptly from the plains. Gaze up in awe at age-old Byzantine monastic culture preserved in the atmospheric setting of these cliffside religious retreats.
Visit working monasteries like Varlaam to glimpse stunning Byzantine art before taking in the endless vistas across Meteora’s breathless landscape from on high.
