What is the Meteora Monasteries?
The Meteora Monasteries are a complex of ancient monasteries built on top of towering rock formations in central Greece. The monasteries were built in the 14th and 15th centuries by monks seeking refuge from political turmoil and raids by invaders.
The monasteries were originally accessed by climbing ladders and being pulled up by ropes. Today, visitors can access the monasteries by a series of staircases carved into the rocks. The six remaining monasteries are still home to small communities of monks and nuns who follow the Greek Orthodox Christian faith.
The Meteora Monasteries are known for their unique architecture and stunning location, making them a popular destination for tourists from around the world. The monasteries have also been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to their cultural significance and historical importance.
