Meteora Municipality

Meteora Municipality is best known in Greece for the rock-top monasteries of Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Near Kalabaka, immense sandstone pillars rise above the Thessalian plain, their forms shaped by erosion over millions of years. Orthodox communities began establishing monasteries here in the 14th century, using the difficult terrain for seclusion and protection; six historic monasteries remain active today. The municipality also reaches into the foothills of the Pindus range, where rural settlements, woodland and mountain roads extend beyond the celebrated rocks.
