The Meteora (Greek: Mete'wra, "suspended rocks" or "suspended in the air") is the largest and most important complex of monasteries in all of Greece, second only to Mount Athos.^ The monasteries are built on spectacular natural sandstone rock pillars at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly, near the Peneios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The Meteora is home to six monasteries and is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The following monasteries can be visited and are located nearby the road circuiting Meteora. Clockwise you'll find:
- Agiou Nikolaou monastery (St. Nickolas Anapausas)
- Agias Varvaras Rousanou monastery (St. Barbara)
- Varlaam monastery
- Megalou Meteorou monastery (Great Meteoron)
- Agias Triados monastery (Holy Trinity)
- Agiou Stefanou monastery (St. Stephen, the only monastery for women)
An entrance fee is expected by some monasteries which might be about € 2. Inexpensive, mass produced icons may be purchased in the monasteries for as little as € 1. They do not have the variety of the factories, however.
The monasteries were not originally built for tourism. Tourism, essential to the monasteries survival, has also destroyed their character. They are no longer contemplative.
