Monasteries of Meteora

We will visit all of the monasteries from outside viewpoints. Meteora has many peaks and valleys to explore and capture the monasteries from. Our photography tours provide the best spots to photograph the stunning landscape combined with the architecture of the monasteries. Some of these monasteries were built strategically to appear as extensions of the huge rocks as the walls and the floors touch the edges of them!

During our tours, we will visit at least one of the monasteries and cave-dwellings from the inside. Hermits migrated to Meteora as early as the eleventh century. They first created small places to pray next to or inside the caves. Three of the old monasteries and hermitages have been restored to their original state. Our tours make it a point to not only educate you on the monastic life but also take you to one or more of these monasteries.

The foundation of the monastery of the Great Meteoron is the starting point of the organized monastic life in Meteora. This monastery is the oldest, largest and most formal of the existing Meteora Monasteries. It is built on a giant rock and is known as a monastery that is suspended in the air. The Meteoron was founded shortly before the middle of the 14th century by Saint Athanasios the Meteora who was also its first founder and the first to organize a systematic monastic community.

There are also 5 other monasteries: Varlaam, St. Stephen, St. Nikolaos of Anapafsas, Rousano and the Holy Trinity. Make sure you look at the visiting hours as they vary by time and day.

Sunrise and Sunset photography

We are photographers as you are , so we photograph the best time of the day. Sunrise! Could there be any better reason to wake up early than to head to the top of the rocks to watch the sunrise over Meteora? We have chosen this as a must-see because it really is a magical experience to witness the colors in the sky over the landscape and monasteries. We love to regularly wake up for this beautiful occurrence in the sky over unique Meteora.

The famous Sunset of Meteora! One of the best times to view the natural landscape of Meteora and capture photos in the dimming light is when the sun sets down on Meteora. Join us as we guide you to the top of the rocks and take advantage of the golden hour. This experience will leave you breathless and is not something to be missed!  The day will be properly wrapped up with an epic sunset shoot up on the Meteora rocks!

If your journey begins in Meteora you should make it a priority to make a brief stop here. Zagori is an area that contains 46 stone villages known as the Zagori villages with striking views of the high peaks of the Pindos Mountains. At the heart of the Vikos–Aoös National Park, the Vikos Gorge or Vikos Canyon is the most impressive and famous natural monument of Zagori, and distinguished as the deepest gorge in the world, with glittering, crystal rivers and green picturesque mountains.

Head to Plastiras Lake

Plastiras Lake is renowned for its captivating landscape composed of alpine peaks and fjord-like scenery. Only one hour by car, heading over to this area should be on your must-do list when visiting Greece. All of your senses will awaken as you enter this natural haven. You will be so glad you made time for this on your trip. There are many areas to discover here. Paleokarya Waterfall and the Stone Bridge of Pyli have been in existence since the 16th century. The 12 meter-high waterfall behind the bridge creates a stunning image that we love to capture. Also, a point of interest that we include in our trips here is the Sarakina Village, known for its famous stone bridge (14th c.).
The bridge connects Sarakina with the isolated rock “Petra” in the north, down from which it is built the chapel of the Holy Apostoles in 17th century with frescoes from various ages.
