Meteora were named after St. Athanasios the Meteority, proprietor of the Big Meteorou Church. Since 1988, the monasteries of Meteora have a position on the UNESCO’s global heritage monuments catalogue. Built on the top of the rocks, in a high that reaches the 400 meters, Meteora are considered to be one of the greatest creations of nature, and one of the most important monuments of the Orthodoxy.
Today, only 7 of the historical monasteries are being used, 6 from which are open to the public, which are:
• The Anapausa Monastery
• The Rusanu Monastery
• The “Big Meteoro” Monastery
• The Varlaam Monastery
• The Agia Triada Monastery
• The Agios Stefanos Monastery

Ability to visit a majority of the sites and have a car available. No need to wait on others. Also had driver who provided insights on the road and while visiting the Agia. This was an awesome visit.
