    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 Agiou Stefanou Monastery, located at the south-eastern end of the Meteora rock group, is just above Kalambaka and is the only monastery that can be visited without climbing stairs, as it can be reached via a small bridge.
