Visit the amazing caves of the rock monasteries in Thessaly

Situated at Meteora in Trikala, one of the four prefectures of the region, are the amazing rock monasteries. The word ‘Meteora’ literally means, “hovering in the air” and these buildings, perched at the very top of giant rocks, are one of the most spectacular attractions in Greece. Originally, during the 11th century, monks settled in the many caves within the rocks. Due to the lawlessness and thievery during Turkish occupation, the monks climbed up the rock faces until eventually putting down roots down at their tops.
