Custom tour packagesMeteora
As the name (meaning "high in the air") implies, Meteora seems suspended in space. The six UNESCO-listed monasteries (some dating as far back as the 11th century) sitting above dramatic rocky pillars are Greece's second most important pilgrimage destination after Mount Athos. The views here are breathtaking, and can seem hard to believe, attracting tourists and film crews alike. Inside, you'll find a rich collection of artifacts explaining the last thousand years of events and belief. Beyond, explore the region's rugged landscape, whether hiking from monastery to monastery, or ascending the surrounding peaks.

What we love about Meteora
You have to see it to believe it. Pictures really don't do justice to this place. As a movie buff, I was sold on the idea of visiting Meteora after hearing that one of James Bond's films was shot there, but in hindsight, I can say that it's just the icing on the cake. This is definitely one of the most unique places I've been to in all of the world.
