    Where is Meteora?

    Meteora

    Meteora

    Meteora can be found in northern Greece near the towns of Kalampaka and Kastraki. The area is renowned for its sandstone, rock pinnicles and sitting high upon them, a total of 6 active Byzantine monasteries. Meteora means ‘hovering in the air’. It is believed that more than 20 monasteries were originally built and used from the 10th-17th centuries but most have slipped into disrepair by erosion. Some exceptional early Christian art can also be viewed. For this, Meteora gained UNESCO inscription during 1988.

    Meteora is also a very well known destination for rock climbing and abseiling. There are almost 700 different routes that ascend the pinnicles and a variety of grades. The best time to visit Meteora are spring and autumn. The summer can be very hot and the winter can even bring snow to the area.
