“Meteora” is the biggest and most important group of Monasteries in Greece after those in Mount Athos. We find the first traces of Meteora in the 11th century when the first hermits settled there. The rock monasteries, a unique geological phenomenon, are in UNESCO’s List of National Heritages and are one of Greece’s cultural treasures.Six of them are still active and open to visitors. We will see and take photos from the best possible spots of all six of them and we will actually visit up to three of them, depending which ones are open on the day of your visit.Entrance fee to each Monastery is 5€ per personSince Meteora is a place of worship, ladies are required to wear long skirts and have their shoulders covered, while gentlemen shouldn’t wear shorts. If you don’t have a long skirt to wear, the monastery will provide one for you at the entrance free of charge.
