   The ageless Monasteries, containing priceless historical and religious treasures, stand between earth and sky atop huge rocks. Meteora is considered one of the most inspiring area of mainland Greece, and its monasteries are one of the country’s most unique attractions. The monasteries are perched on top of towers of sandstone, which for centuries provided totally inaccessible retreats for the monks. It is also the biggest group of monasteries in Greece after those in Mount Athos. In the past there were no steps and the main access to the monasteries was by means of a net that was hitched over a hook and hoisted up by rope and a hand cranked windlass to winch towers overhanging the chasm. Each community developed its own resources and by the end of the 14th century, the Grand Meteoron emerged as the dominant community. The rock monasteries have been characterized by UNESCO as a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage. You will enjoy a guided tour of two of the six monasteries.
