Incredibly beautiful views. Be careful choosing the view point, photos on maps are not always real. Some monasteries are also closed after 3 p.m., recommended to find out working hours before arrival

Most beautiful place Ive ever been. Its truly is amazing.Must visit if youre in Greece.This place was the highlights of my Greece travel!

Astonishing place!!!! It’s more than just “beautiful, nice, pretty”. It is breathtaking! The best time to visit the monasteries is sunset. First, there won’t be that much people. Second, the sun won’t kill you. And finally, the buildings and mountains are amazing in the sunset light!

Every day of the week a monastery is closed, by rotation. the visiting schedule is until 16 Oclock. The rest is amazingly beautiful. The constructions prove once again what being one can do. Spirituality feels extraordinary at sunset, when the number of visitors is considerably lower.

Meteora was an amazing experience. Both beautiful as well as hard to believe that monks lived in the monasteries built into the rock walls.I recommend a tour guide if you decide to visit so they can explain thoroughly the history. We went with “Visit Meteora”

The stone spires and cliffs that this region is known for certainly dont disappoint and absolutely live up to the hype. It is impossible to grasp the sheer awe you feel when looking out off the balcony of a monastery over the near-endless expanse of mountains and plains below you. I highly recommend making a detour here just to see these sights.

WOW such an amazing place. We loved our stay. You should stay here for 1 night, visit sunset rock and the monasteries

Better than expected, Ive wanted to go there most of my life and was not disappointed. Beautiful place and clean as can be. The views and the spires are only scene at Meteora!

One of the most impressive places not only in Greece but worldwide. The rock formations are amazing and even more striking to see where the monasteries have been built, just on the top of those rocks, centuries ago. This place should be in the bucket list of everyone.

Amazing, absolutely amazing!it is a place not to be missed. At least once in a lifetime you have to get there to admire the relief that is unique and the churches that are on top of the rocks. The view is absolutely breathtaking, the pictures cant describe the reality.

A very unique place on Earth which everyone have to have in their bucket list.

Without a doubt, this is one of those places that when you get to them you feel a sense of sublimity. I visited the place several times and each time I discovered new layers of beauty and wonder. I will surely return to it many more times. Just get going and visit Meteora.

Just amazing places. Definitely recommend to visit some of monasteries

This place is about three and half hours from Athens by train, but it is worth it. I learnt a lot of new information and had to do some hiking which I sincerely enjoyed. You should visit at least once.

Fantastic area with incredibly impressive monasteries on top of rock needles. Great for hiking. Once you are a few minutes away from the major parking lots, you are virtually by yourself even in high season.

What a way to spend a few days marveling at nature and mans capabilities of building structures in high points . Walked through many paths and many steps to see and feel t he en Energy of those who wanted to build in the sky

Is not like this place needed another review but...Despite the greatness of this place, I would like to see all the monasteries open. More than that, the biggest one it was more restricted to visit that few years ago :(Nonetheless it is worth visiting if you are in the area (in Greece I mean).Allow yourself at least one full day because some of the monasteries are closed most of the time. You can visit some in the morning and some on the evening.Bring some good camera, is worth it!Tip: relax and try to fill the divinity!

There is simply no place like Meteora. The area is beautiful the structures amazing and you can spend countless hours in monasteries and surrounding areas looking at culture and nature coexist in harmony. The roads there are nice but can be very narrow. Several stops are located all around to see the sites up close and from a distance. It is worth the trip from anywhere in Greece to see. It is truly unique.

Beautiful Greece ❤️🇬🇷 amazing place

Beautiful place. The city is a bit dead though. Nevertheless, the people are nice and it’s a relaxing place for the end of your trip.

As many of the reviewers mentioned before, Meteora is a beautiful and impressive place. Besides visiting the monasteries, you can go hiking, watch amazing sunrises/sunsets, enjoy the delicious food and many other things.My wife, little sons and I were there for 2,5 days and we had really a great time.

Amazing place. You have to experience in person. Great restaurants nearby

Very nice and breath taking scenery.A unique and interesting area

One of magical place on earth .Some millions of years before this place was seafloor.Also as i see monastery was builded here to make more impressive for the visitor the feeling of this massive stones which is really impressive.Nature can be really magical and create any kind of shapes!The scape is really unique.And there is lot of nice places to eat well!

World wonder, great spiritual place with amazing beautiful monastery’s and nature. Definitely something worth to see and experience.

A wonderful place to visit. Lots of spirituality and Orthodoxy. There are 6 monasteries from the former 26. 5 for men and one for women. Admission is paid. Pay attention to the dress code. Applies to adults. They are not strict for children.

Very nice place to visit. Beautiful sights & great hikes.

Very beautiful place! Amazing...

Definitely worth it. So much history. The view is breathtaking! The monasteries are beautiful inside out. You can buy souvenirs and visit their mini museums. MEN should wear pants and WOMEN are asked to cover their arms with scarves and wear long skirts or pants. But when youre not in those monasteries you can wear what you want. Be ready to do a lot of stairs! Stay hydrated.

Incredible place on the map of Greece. Visits in most monastery’s only till 3pm so be prepared to arrive early!

Spectacular view of cliffs with monasteries at the edge. It is recommended to visit one of the two large monasteries and drive along the landscape

Very pretty! Loved seeing the sights here. Not huge on the monestarys but certainly loved seeing the sights here.

Amazing view, fantastic architecture, breath taking hights.

Meteora is a must visit. Amazing view from monasteries, and whole scenery is something special. Try to avoid hot summer days for your visit

Meteora and the monasteries are amazing - such a stunning mixture of nature and architecture.Most of the monasteries can be reached by foot (It takes aproximately 30 minutes or an hour to walk up there). Suggest you ask locals where the paths are situated. The paths go through the woods mostly and hence the trees protect againt the heat providing shadow..

Amazing views! Great scenery!Many churches are free to visit, but some of them may charge entrance fee (which they don’t mention). My advice is to avoid these, they get enough already from candle donations. Why so greedy..You get to experience most of the area by moving around the road, and stop at different points for some nice pictures.

We went with friends to see the beautiful Meteroa Monasteries a month ago. It was a cloudy, drizzly day, but there were still many tourists from Europe, America, etc.It was absolutely breathing . . . Just keep in that there is a lot of stair-climbing to be done!We recommend you chose two or three monasteries to visit and head out early.

The most beautiful place!!! So peaceful! And you will enjoy everything you do there!The photos will be epic! If you are religious you will appreciate being in a holly place .

Surreal place, breath taking views.

Great place for visit. Historical and religious. Check working hours of monasteties before arrival. Plan to visit 1-3 it is not posssible to visit more during one day.

This place blew me away! Its so unique, its like stepping into a movie or a book. An absolute must see cant recommend it enough! If your a photographer this place is the holy grail!

Beautiful monasteries on top of high cliffs. Must visit place in Greece

Amazing place. Monumental, hystorical and nature wonder!

WOW!Meteora is a place of dreams.From the spiritual atmosphere, to the natural beauty this place could not be any more perfect.Whether it be a short weekend away, or a long holiday, Meteora can accommodate it all.Locals make you feel like family.Restaurants are all reasonably priced with delish food!!

Meteora is an amazing place !Don’t miss it!

Absolutely amazing place. Breathtaking...

Lovely place, full of good vibe and energy!

This is a must see for every traveler to dig deeper into Greek culture and history, not mentioning the painting like monasteries.

I trip of a life time. Just make sure you are fully aware of the clothing requirements. There are absolutely no exceptions.

Unique place, pilgrimage site, must visit, breathtaking, makes you wonder how...

One of the most important and impressive places I have ever seen. One has to visit at least once.

One of the most magical places in the world! Definitely worth visiting. You will most likely feel a divine presence in the area and the view in most points in the whole and surrounding area is simply spectacular! These sea rocks in the middle of nowhere is a sight you will NEVER forget! Time to revisit them! 😊

A trip full of spirituality, the time to find yourself, know yourself and know what you want. In Meteora you will also have the opportunity to admire, to know about religion, history, which is more interesting each time the trip progresses. You will see the wonder of nature and will be part of the architecture of the place. Without a doubt, a very interesting and magical adventure.In the center of Greece, specifically in Meteora, some wooden structures that were clinging to the rocks of the place were built in the 11th century , and with the passage of time they began using the caves that were excavated in the eroded rocks. All of this was part of a plan by the devout hermits to obtain more solitude and isolation from the rest, in order to have the peace they were looking for.

We have traveled all over the world and this is truly one of the most magical and spirtual places we have been. Its incredible and pictures do not do it true justice. Spend an extra 2 days in Greece to visit this place!

A true wonder of the world, stunning place everyone should visit. Great for seeing the sunset

Wonderful place!Want to go there again.

We didnt get a chance to look inside the monasteries. But I was disappointed by its appearance outside - a far cry from what I have seen on pictures.

Breathtaking from any angle

Beautiful place😍

Yes please!!! This place is just amazing, no words to describe.

Very beautiful from the outside, however the staff/priests are very rude and it’s obvious only your euros are wanted, not your presence. Once we figured this out, we enjoyed touring around. I suppose this gives everyone an authentic religious experience, lol.

Magnificent place. We had one day only, so we went to see both sunrise and sunset, the light is very different and is worth it (there are two rocks where the view is amazing, one can google them by the best photo locations in Meteora). If you would like to enter some of the monasteries, please check their schedule. All 6 of them have different close days and visiting hours. By the way, if you like cats please take something for them, they like to be fed 🙂

Probably the best rock formations I’ve ever seen in my life. The ace art is absolutely breathtaking. You feel so small on top of these rocks. There are 6 monasteries still active. The small one in the middle is the coolest in my opinion. The most photogenic one is the second from the left (when facing the town bellow). Bring water, and a towel, cause you’ll sweat going from rock to rock (if you like to get adventurous)

The most breathtaking place ever. I met my guide by the train station. And we book him on getyourguide. He was very knowledgeable! I loved every minute of it and we exchanged a nice conversation about greeks vs americans about life. And honestly I would much rather live like a greek which is all about enjoying life. Also for women wear something appropriate for the monastery (long skirt and no midriffs and cover your shoulders). Men wear pants that go over the knee or you’ll need to pay €2 for some uncomfortable non-breathable pants.

Amazing place with beautiful view!

Uniquely beautiful ❤️

One of the most beautiful places in the World! It is in the north of Greece, distant from the islands, but still worth to visit. I recommend also to visit Delphi which is more or less close, but by train or car.

Its a must visit site in Greece.Be prepared for driving uphill on a cerpentine but safe road.

Breathtaking wonderful experience.

If youre into hiking, this is a great place to train yourself under some pretty defiant conditions: uphill, facing 30°C. Thats not for everyone thats for sure, but you can still reach each monastery by car (the front gate, that is, you still have to walk your way upstairs). Going by foot feels like a pilgrimage, its exhausting but you get to admire all such wonderful scenes with no time limit, step by step.To be frank, the monasteries look rather similar among themselves (I visited all 6). The ones I (personally) found less interesting were the Holy Trinity and St. Nicholas. All other 4 are gorgeous. Each monastery you climb feels like a great achievement.If you want to really enjoy your visit and the magnificent views, Id recommend to spend at least one night in Meteora. In that way youll manage to see the monasteries (either the top 4 or all 6). Dont get dazzled by the day-trip from Athens offer. I think you only see stuff in rush and with no real time of your own enjoyment. Locals are super friendly! Spend the night here and not in Athens.

Dont forget to visit that place.Magical stones.Perfect for climbers too many routes.

This place and landscapes are beautiful.

The scenery was breathtaking. Loved all the cats too.

Absolutely amazing place!

Breathtaking place, its all that can be said. The pictures dont make justice to the spots actual beauty.

Breathtaking view! We had a great experience at all the restaurants and in our tours! A must-visit!

Beautiful place beautiful landscape I would keep going there over and over again.

You have to travel to find out yourself

Great place!

If you can go in morning it is good and not to hot.

Its so beautiful here. I can recommend to watch the sunset here, or go here early morning. Those times are quiet and its beautiful. Bring some cat and dog food to feed the cats / dogs.

Amazing 🤩!

Fantastic awe inspiring views. Its a long drive from Athens but well worth it

Nice. A bucket list item... But max 2 days stay.. if you have seen 1 or 2 monasteries you have seen them all. A combination with a 2 nights stay in Thessaloniki.. perfect

They call it magical. How magical, go find out. Words and pictures dont tell the story. #nofilter. Doupiani House great!

Breathtaking views. Would definitely recommend.

Really nice to come for sunset. Make sure you’ll head here on time! Sun goes down faster cause of the mountains

Amazing place

Breathtaking views!

Impressive place

A wonderful experience in the mountains. Truly recommended for hotel and B&B Kastraki. Please double check the timetable for the monastery visits often open the middle of the day.. not so good in August for the hot sun

One of the few unique places on the planet which is a must do!

We ordered musaka and pasta. The moussaka was delicious. The pasta was so, so. The sauce was watery

The site is really special and beautiful. The setting is simply amazing. Its wonderful to admire the sunset from the top view point. Good road but Not easy parking. The monastery usually open at 9 a.m.Better to come early in summer time

One, if not THE, most impressive areas I have ever been to. The landscape itself is already unique, but the fact that they have built the monasteries on top of the pillars in the 14th century is just incredible. We travelled there by car and had no issues with finding parking spaces near each monastery, neither was it too packed. It was a really relaxed trip. Only important note that is not written anywhere: in the monasteries are toilets, but it is only these toilets that are on floor level, where you stand above. This is for women quite unhandy and you should know about that. I recommend to visit a toilet in the city of Kalambaka or Kastraki, before you drive up to the monasteries.The monasteries itself are differently designed but all are really beautiful to visit.The streets up and down the mountains are in good condition, so it should be no problem to access it by car.This place is a must-see if you are anywhere near in Greece!!

Nice views and nice place. But Im not a big fan of religious hypocrisy. You could see the accumulation of wealth in these Monasteries and they have opening hours whereas outside these hours they close up the whole territory around the monasteries. Ive always thought religion is for the people but apparently religion is only for the monks who pretend to be poor and humble but in fact they are wealthy and live in their own empire.

Beautiful from top. And getting there is much the adventure too. Supremely breathtaking.

Wonderful!

The monasteries and views in Meteora are amazing and impressive!

Stunning panorama! Keep in mind that the weather is very hot during summertime, and it is required to wear long trousers in order to enter the monasteries. So question of the day: if god created us naked, why should we cover ourselves?
