Visited in October recently, the 3rd of 6 monasteries in the tour. Definitely worth visiting, also has great views of the surrounding area.

Meteora is a unique and magnificent series of 6 active monasteries standing between earth and sky atop of huge rocks. After travelling through Central Greece, we arrived at Meteora to view its majestic grey rocks, and the great Meteora Monasteries perched on some of these rocks. After viewing this impressive sight, we saw more of it the next morning, and had the opportunity to visit 2 of the monasteries. We first visited the Holy Monastery of Great Meteoron (Transfiguration), founded in the 14th century, and the largest and oldest one of all. The second visit was at the Holy Monastery of Varlaam, also of the 14th century, and the 2nd largest. No words can fully describe what we saw. Here are some photos taken at the Holy Monastery of Great Meteoron (Transfiguration).

Magnificent and full of history. Inexpensive entrance fee, very cool artefacts, and some quite funny facts and pictures Must go clothed appropriately.

Very nice monastery inside. Easy to park nearby and walk about 10-15 minutes on a paved road to it. Definitely gets crowded. They will provide you with a skirt if you don't have one on. Definitely want to be covered up.

The view here is spectacular! Just be prepared to walk up a LOT of stairs. Arrive in the morning to have access to a longer tour. Wear modest clothing, and bring some cash if you want to purchase something you like.
