The UNESCO World Heritage site
is home to more than 20 rock monasteries, either perched precariously on top of Meteora’s
towering sandstone cliffs or built into the cliffs themselves inside naturally formed caves.
Impressive scenery, priceless historical and religious treasures suspended between
earth and sky. In your way back to Athens you will have the opportunity to stop in the coastal
town of Thermopylae, near Lamia and learn about Thermopylae’s historical battle between the
Greek Spartans and Persians. Arrival in Athens early in the evening.
The monasteries have strict dress code so to enter the monasteries of Meteora you have to
adhere to the following rules:
Women will need to wear a long skirt, dress or sarong, it's not enough to keep the knees
covered, so no trousers or shorts.
Men must wear long pants.
Sleeveless shirts are not allowed.
Please make sure to have appropriate clothing before visiting the monasteries.
