Located approximately 360 Km or 4 and a half hours driving away from Athens towards the northern part of the country, this extraordinary rock formation of the Meteora region would be an unmissable tourist attraction even if they weren’t crowned by Byzantine monasteries. However, the sheer spectacle of those monasteries – somehow glued atop slender stone pinnacles by medieval masons and now collectively listed as a World Heritage site – makes this one of the most visited attractions in all Greece. This strange and beautiful landscape also offers wonderful opportunities for walkers and climbers. Meteora is the biggest and most important group of monasteries in Greece after those in Mount Athos. We can locate the first traces of their history from 11th c. when the first hermits settled there.

Also look around for Petros, one of the islands most famous residents that can often be found wobbling along the harbourfront area.
