Meteora | Greece

Postcard
The Meteora is a rock formation in central Greece. Six (of an original twenty four) monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area.

In a region of almost inaccessible sandstone peaks, monks settled on these 'columns of the sky' from the 11th century onwards.

Meteora is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
