On 22 June 2019, we took a 4-hour train from Athens to Kalabaka to visit the meteora monasteries and took another 4-hour train back. It was a tour organised by Meteora Thrones. We visited 3 monasteries and see the other 3 from strategic spots. Excellent tour. Thanks to the organizer. Of the 3 we visited viz. the Great Meteoron Monastery, the Variaam and St Stephen monastery, the Great Meteoron Monastery is the biggest and required more effort to reach and has the most impressive views of the plains and rock formation. To reach this Byzantine monastery, we had to up the steps under the midday sun when the temperature reached 34 degree in celsius. But It was worthwhile believe me. The Monastery was built on a steep rock column which rises to a height of more than 400 metres (1,300 ft). The whole Monastery was in good shape. The museum, the open courtyards, the chapel are well preserved. The views looking down from above was astonishing, impressive and breathtaking. Walking inside this medieval treasure, we could not imagine how the ancient monks and nuns built the monastery and how they could live in there without external supports. We could only appreciate their untiring effort and desire to connect human with the Divine. A highly recommended activity when visiting Athens.

This 15th-century monastery is carved into the mountainside and is the one most often shown in ads.

I have seen many sunsets from traveling the world. This one is just breathtaking. The rock formations are majestic and the monastery built on top of the rock is just plain impressive...but the sunset...wow It was worth waiting around for one hour just to see it. If you want the best view (on the edge of the cliff) I recommend you show up at least an hour early because the location fills up rather quickly. Be careful though, there are no barriers so I wouldn't recommend taking kids on the edge of the rock.

This humble nunnery was the last monastery we‘ve just visited in August 2020, and it appeared a very special to us: it has nice holy energy there. You can feel it from the entrance: by the way how the nun, who sale the tickets, smiles to you, by the way her God-sister talks with you at the monastery chamber, ready to serve and to show you around, and even by the sweetness of the nun, who guard the monastery Museum and shop. The Light seems lives in this place. The monastery 18th century main cathedral dedicated to Saint Charalambos and includes his holy relics. Some people come to pray there: it is believed that Saint Charalambos can treat incurable deceases, such as cancer and even Covid-19.... It is also believed that at the time of Saint Charalambos martyrdom in 202, The Saint was 113 years old. His name means “glowing with joy” in Greek, and may be this is the reason the monastery has the light and joyful energy, which you could sense there. The life and martyrdom of the Saint are colourfully depicted at the walls of the cathedral, which also includes unique vision of Last Judgment. The views from the monastery are not as picturesque as from Great Meteoron of Varlam monasteries nearby, the architecture is also less sophisticated and more simple, but still very attractive. For us the main character of this monastery was in its’ incredible and rare energy, which is so hard to come across in the modern world.
