4Meteora Monasteries

While Meteora is famous for its dramatic rock pillars topped with monasteries, visiting outside peak months turns the site into an almost spiritual retreat.

Founded between the 14th and 16th centuries, these monasteries are perched impossibly high, offering breathtaking views. In off-season, you can explore the chapels and courtyards with fewer people, giving you time to reflect on the isolation and devotion that defined monastic life here.
