Meteora

Meteora is a group of rock formations in central Greece that houses several Eastern Orthodox monasteries. The word Meteora means 'suspended in the air' which perfectly describes the geographical nature of these rock formations.

The easiest way to get to Meteora is to fly into Athens and take a train or bus to Kalabaka, the nearest town to the monasteries. From there, you can take a taxi or a bus to the monasteries.

Yes, there are some rules you should be aware of when visiting the monasteries. You must wear modest clothing, including long pants and covered shoulders. You may be asked to remove your shoes before entering certain areas of the monasteries. Photography is often not allowed inside the monasteries or in some specific areas.

The best time to visit Meteora is during the spring (April to June) or fall (September to November). The weather is usually mild, the crowds are smaller, and the scenery is breathtaking.

It is recommended to stay at least two days in Meteora to enjoy the breathtaking scenery, explore the monasteries, and go on hikes in the surrounding areas.
