Meteora are well-known all over the world for the natural beauty of the rocks and for the monasteries located on some of the rocks. Millions of tourists from all over the world visit Meteora to visit the monasteries, wander around Kastraki, and explore the Meteora landscape through beautiful trails that run through the rocks.
The monasteries of Meteora, built on the tops of some of the rocks, are today the second most important monastic complex in Greece, after Mount Athos. The Meteora, which has been designated the second Mount Athos, has continued its monastic tradition for nearly six centuries. Of the thirty that have historically existed, only six now operate, which have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1988.
