Admission Ticket FreeThe Great Meteoron Monastery is the largest and oldest of all the Meteora monasteries.

As you explore these remote cliffside shelters, you’ll uncover the stories of the hermits who once lived here and see the traces of their simple dwellings—offering a rare glimpse into their austere, contemplative way of life.Holy Monastery of Saint Stephen
30 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedSt. Stephen’s Monastery is the most accessible of all the Meteora monasteries, requiring no stairs—just a short walk across a small bridge to reach its entrance—making it ideal for visitors with limited mobility who still want an authentic monastic experience. Monastic life on this rock began as early as the 12th century, with key figures like Hosios Antonios and Hosios Philotheos credited for its development, the latter having rebuilt the original church in 1545. Today, the monastery features two churches: a 16th-century chapel that suffered damage during WWII and the Greek Civil War, and a larger 18th-century cathedral dedicated to Saint Charalambos, which houses his revered relics.Kalabaka

Unlike some of the more elevated Meteora monasteries, Roussanou sits on a lower rock, making it easier to reach.
