Het gebied van de meteora (Grieks voor in de lucht zweven) omvat bijna ontoegankelijke zandsteen pieken (menora), meer dan 400 meter boven de Peneas vallei. Vanaf de 11e eeuw vestigden monniken zich op deze rotspunten, de ‘zuilen van de hemel’.
The Metéora (Greek: Μετέωρα, "suspended rocks", "suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above") is the name for a number of monasteries in Greece. Several Eastern Orthodox monasteries are part of the complex, located in Kalambaka, Greece. The site is almost as important as Mount Athos.
