Is one of the monasteries that is not recommended. Skipping the issue that is hard to visit it since it has many steps on a difficult slope. After you reach the entrance then you realise that the whole monastery is under construction. Even the roof is aconstruction site and the interior has nothing to show.
At least inform the guests that is under construction and no need to climb all the way up to realise especially if you need to pay entrance fee for nothing. Friendly advise apart from the bathroom that is also like every other monastery in terrible condition, please dont make holy sites a businees machine

I do not criticize that the monastery is being restored, no, what makes me give only a 2 is the antipathy bordering on rudeness of some monk. If they are in the middle of work and can't receive it, if they don't do it but don't show that attitude, it says very little in their favor. It is not the best preserved monastery but the Byzantine frescoes are still worth it. The climb should not be scary, from below it stops a lot but it is perfectly acceptable. The views are spectacular, nature is amazing.

On road parking outside. Quite a longer walk than most of the other monasteries, only Holy trinity is as long, a few hundred metres walk along a concrete driveway with several uneven wooden pathways to cut off some of the bends then 180 steep steps to the entrance. Like all the monasteries, the chapel decorated with religious scenes is the highlight, not a large chapel but worth the walk.

Monastery of Agios Nikolaos Anapapfsas. It is a very small pocket monastery located at the bottom of the weather site. It's a building on a rock. With just a little place at the top of the rock. At the side of the road there is a small parking lot. Little room. You have to go up along the way. Fifteen minutes walk. A good slope. Then there are the stairs and the entrance. Several rooms to visit. Very beautiful architecture. Very photogenic.

Getting to the top of the monasteries in Meteora is a hike. This one wasn't too bad. They had lots of benches and places to sit as you hiked up the hill. You can take your time, and sit in lovely spots to rest as you hike up. The artwork inside this monastery is beautiful. And the view from the very top is astounding. Worth a visit.

First monastery on the road the climb is done on foot but quite quickly. There is a very pretty fresco and the view is magnificent. It’s a place of calm so you can do it in silence! On the other hand, we lend you outfits if yours do not suit and when paying, the 2 gentlemen lack a smile, too bad.

There is a path and then a few stairs to enter into this monastery. At this point after seeing all the other monasteries it was a tough climb, however it was worth. The views are stunning at the top!

There are lots of steps to climb to reach this monastery, which was built in the 16th century. Since access is difficult, there are no tour groups. The views are spectacular. There are beautiful wall paintings.
It is open every day except Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Entrance fee is 3 euro. Women must wear skirts below the knee (loaner skirts available) and have covered shoulders. Men must wear long pants.

Stunning Monastery. Fascinating place to visit despite a bit of a climb. The feeling of calm and spirituality one gets is most rewarding.
