MAA bucket list place you HAVE to experience🤯
This is Meteora in Kalambaka, Greece🇬🇷 which has 6 active monasteries perched on towering rock pillars.
After flying halfway across the world, we took a 4-hour train north from Athens to see it for ourselves and it was 100% worth it🙌 The cliffs rise straight out of the earth, and somehow, monasteries sit right on top of them. While some of them look like castles, they’re active monasteries built by monks in the 14th century seeking isolation and spiritual refuge.
We stayed two nights in Kalambaka so we could catch multiple sunset and sunrise. I rented a moped in the town and drove up multiple times a day to see the view with different conditions. This was easily one of my favorite places to explore in Greece😌
If you’re planning to visit, late spring or early fall is best for fewer crowds and cooler temps. You’ll want at least 1–2 nights here to explore multiple monasteries without rushing.
Is Meteora on your bucket list?🤔
