    East of the Pindus Mountains, mighty sandstone cliffs rise to a height of approximately 500 meters. 24 monasteries were once built on their summits. Monks and nuns still live in six of them today. These monasteries are now UNESCO World Heritage sites and are often referred to as "floating monasteries" because they appear almost suspended in fog or low clouds.

      The Holy Trinity Monastery, perched on a towering rock pillar, is one of the most iconic and visually stunning monasteries in the area. founded in the 14th century.

      Ascend a steep and narrow stone staircase, which offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding landscape to reach the monastery. The buildings, with their terracotta-tiled roofs, seem to be an integral part of the rock itself.

        Located near the city of Kalambaka/Greece, the Meteora monasteries are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The name Metéora means "to raise high". This name describes the location of the monasteries, which were built on high sandstone cliffs. When it is foggy, the monasteries on the rocks seem to float between heaven and earth. Built for eternity: the Meteora monasteries built on sandstone cliffs are called "pillars of heaven". They are the skyscrapers of the Middle Ages in Greece.
