Meteora Monastery Cable Car

Highlight • Structure

East of the Pindus Mountains, mighty sandstone cliffs rise to a height of approximately 500 meters. 24 monasteries were once built on their summits. Monks and nuns still live in six of them today. These monasteries are now UNESCO World Heritage sites and are often referred to as "floating monasteries" because they appear almost suspended in fog or low clouds.

Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) Monastery, Meteora

Highlight • Religious Site

The Agia Triada Monastery (Monastery of the Holy Trinity) is probably one of the most famous Meteora monasteries, Roger Moore was also here as James Bond on a deadly mission. The path from Kalambaka is sometimes quite steep and peppered with spectacular views. But it is also relatively well developed, so you don't really have to worry about your health, apart from the midday heat in midsummer. The tour is definitely worth it, then you deserve the view from the top (compared to the lazybones who drive up to the car park :-)). By the way, the monastery is closed on Thursdays, on other days the gates close at 5 p.m.

Varlaam Monastery, Meteora

Highlight • Religious Site

Monastery built on a rock in the 14th century with a museum and chapel with frescoes. Magnificent view and more like a palace than a monastery.
