This stunning geological phenomenon, formed around 60 million years ago, became home to monks from the 12th century, who built monasteries atop the towering rock pillars. Each monastery boasts impressive frescoes, icons, and a wealth of ecclesiastical treasures. Our guide will take you through two of the most important and well-preserved monasteries. Afterward, enjoy lunch in the charming village of Kalambaka, at the foot of the rock formations. Did you know Meteora was featured in the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only?

About Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki, Greece's second city, is a Byzantine and Ottoman port on the Aegean, with a waterfront tower, Roman monuments and excellent street food.

Thessaloniki was founded in 315 BC and became one of the main cities of the Roman and Byzantine worlds. The White Tower stands on the waterfront promenade, a rounded Ottoman-era tower that is now the city's emblem, and the Rotunda and the Arch of Galerius recall the Roman ruler who made the city his base. The early Christian and Byzantine churches, among them Agios Dimitrios, are listed by UNESCO.

Top-ranked sights in Thessaloniki: White Tower (Lefkos Pyrgos), Aristotelous Square, Church and Crypt of Ayios Dimitrios.
