Meteora is a breathtaking beautiful rock formation located in central Greece. The name Meteora means “suspended in the air,” which perfectly describes the otherworldly feeling of this place. The formation consists of a series of towering pillars of rock that rise up from the surrounding landscape, some of which reach up to 400 meters in height. The pillars are topped with ancient monasteries that have been perched on top of them for centuries, providing a glimpse into the rich history of Greece. Visitors to Meteora can explore the monasteries and take in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The combination of natural beauty and cultural significance make Meteora a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Greece.
