Meteora is the second most important monastic centre in Greece. The first ascetics came here in the 11th century. They flourished as a monastic centre between the 13th and 14th century as many people who lived in the nearby areas embraced the monastic way of living.
These unique and enormous columns of rock rise precipitously from the ground. But their unusual form is not easy to explain geologically. They are not volcanic plugs of hard igneous rock typical elsewhere, but the rocks are composed of a mixture of sandstone and conglomerate.
This tour includes 2 visits to the monasteries, the sunset plus several viewpoints of the magnificent scenery

Monastery of Agios Nikolaos Anapafsas
The Holy Monastery of Saint Nicholas of Anapafsas or Agios Nikolaos is the first active Monastery we meet on our way to Meteora near kastraki village
Tradition says that the name belongs to an old founder dated from the 14th century. It has this name also because it translates to spiritual rest.
The formation of the rock is small in size and narrow in width on the top. In the decade of 60’s was reconstructed by the archaeological Service.
Operates 7 days a week

Holy Monastery of St. Stephan
The Holy Monastery of St. Stephan is one of the most attainable as we don't have to cope with innumerable stairs to reach it. The small single – nave church of St. Stephan was built in the middle of 16th and decorated in 1545 or a little later. The 'Katholikon', honoured to St. Charalambos, was built in the Athonite type, in 1798. The old refectory of the convent is used as a museum nowadays.
It operates as a nunnery.
