Located on the north-western edge of the Plain of Thessaly, in Mainland Greece, and 'suspended in the air' (the meaning of the word Meteora in Greek), these monasteries represent a unique artistic achievement and are one of the most powerful examples of the architectural transformation of a site into a place of retreat, meditation and prayer. Thousands of visitors flock to this place every year, attracted by the daunting size of the rock formations where timelessness and beauty prevail, while they seek spiritual enlightenment far away from the earthly bustle. Our Greece vacation packages provide itineraries which include a Meteora tour where the visitor can encounter a breathtaking site of impressive monasteries "balanced" on massive detached stone pinnacles, 400 meters above the ground. Furthermore, nature lovers should not miss the opportunity to hike through winding stone paths and gaze at a unique geological phenomenon formed as a result of a chain of erosions and geological changes over a period of 15 million years. Whether you are a believer, a spiritual seeker or a cultural traveler, this emotive place will offer you the opportunity to commune with nature, taking you on an unforgettable journey in the most profound sense of the word.
