4Meteora
Tucked away in central Greece, the region of Meteora is home to a series of spectacular rock formations topped with ancient monasteries. Built by monks in the 14th century, these monasteries seem to defy gravity as they perch precariously on towering cliffs, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can explore the monasteries, some of which are still active, and hike through the rugged terrain to discover hidden caves and hermitages.
