Meteora Monasteries, Greece
A visit to Meteora monasteries offers a unique perspective of nature’s grandeur in conjunction with history, architecture, and man’s everlasting desire to connect with the Divine.
Meteora Monasteries: Kalabaka 422 00
From the early Christian times, the cliffs of Meteora were regarded as a perfect place to achieve absolute isolation. A place for people to find peace and harmony and, thus, to support mankind’s eternal struggle for spiritual ascension.
There are 6 Meteora monasteries perched on the vast cliffs people can visit today. The one in the picture below is not one of the two monasteries that I saw.
This is a monastery that I visited. This monastery is next to a car parking lot, making it easy to reach.
