" The oldest and largest of the Meteora monasteries, the Monastery of Great Meteoron is an impressive sight. Though it does not sit quite as precariously as the other monasteries, it’s stone ribbon of stairs and countless buildings make it seem more like a fortified village than a monastery. Inside this 14th century monastery, you’re treated not only to views of Meteora, but also gilded frescos of saints and a museum on Meteora’s history. The museum is a great place to start with to get some context on the places you’ll be visiting."

"Built in the middle of the 14th century, The Great Meteoron Monastery is the largest, oldest and most visited out of the six active monasteries in Meteora. Perched on top of the ‘Broad Rock’ more than 600 metres above sea level, it is also the highest of the monasteries and you need to go up 115 steps to reach it. Walking around the monastery makes you wonder how the monks managed to construct something so immense using just ropes and ladders! Only squat toilets.
Hours:
Tues. - Fri. Closed
Sat. - Mon. 9:30 AM–2 PM"
