Meteora have 6 or 7 monasteries. This one is one of the so called touristic, which means that is being visited by many groups especially on the morning hours which makes it very crowded and not a place that you can have an easy access or to explore it. Parking is a little bit hard but the scenery is something amazing. Many stairs but not difficult to climb up. Amazing views from the top and clean areas to see. Is one of the bigger monasteries but crowded. Shop was not so organised and the guy that was working there wanted us to go out because he wanted to go somewhere. For shopping souvenirs better go to the monasteries that are not touristic. Top things of this monastery is the huge barrel and the old lift that was kept preserved with all the old instruments which are not working anymore

We visited this monastery as part of our walking tour because it was Tuesday and Great Meteora monastery was closed. However, I think we were so lucky to be able to see this place as one monastery the tour took us to. It’s kept in perfect condition. Everything is so tidy and beautifully present! Inside the church many frescos were preserved and look brand new. There is also a museum, gift shop and barrel for water storage to see. Don’t miss chair inside the cage which was used to bring people up or down. We had one hour in the monastery and it was not enough to see everything.

Orthodox monastery among the most beautiful, is located just below great Meteora but as a structure is perhaps even more beautiful. Spectacular garden with panoramic terrace, beautiful view of the monastery opposite St. Nicholas and Gran Meteora. Climb up stairs not too challenging, but still to be avoided in the hottest hours because all in the sun

It is the monastery that stands before Great Meteora. It is one of the biggest, very nice. It also has an internal museum where you can see a historical video of how the monks climbed (inside a net with a handmade winch) ... impressive! 150 steps to access it. Before entering distribute long skirts x women and long pants for men (to put x cover tattoos or only if they have their shorts too short). No entry in tank top (needs T-shirt with covered shoulders) You park in a dirt road. Entrance fee 3 eur per adult person

It's a big monastery. Little information about his site. It is like the others, it was erected there in the late Middle Ages. it was erected on a large block. There are several buildings and also a large church. Beautiful rooms and a large espanade. A magnificent viewpoint. The parking remains very close to the entrance. In summer, this site is full of tourists, but nevertheless, it is worth visiting.

It was one of the monasteries we visited. It has quite a few stairs, but they are not very complicated if you are fit. You must visit Meteora, no matter if you enter many or few viewpoints, you have to see the views and uniqueness of the landscape. Once inside the church is very small, but the paintings have no waste. You have to go in with someone to explain and try to identify the scenes. Very interesting.

Although there is a large car park in front of this monastery, it can be difficult to park. We parked along the road halfway between this monastery and Great Meteoron Monastery in order to visit both. Built at the beginning of the 16th century, this monastery stands on top of a large rock and is accessed climbing 195 steps carved in the rock. A easy climbing and a not particularly tiring staircase. The monastery is rich in frescoes and offers a magnificent view of the valley. Particularly interesting is the room where the rope net is located: The monks and materials were hoisted by hand in this rope in a climb that could last up to half an hour in which the net was swinging fearfully in the air at a dizzying height.A monastery not to be missed if you visit this area.

It's not because this was the first of the monasteries I visited, it really was the nicest. The frescos were gorgeous, everything was immaculate, they had a coffee vending machine with hot chocolate available - on the patio, the museum was filled with costumes and books, etc. It's such a rich experience as they play chants over the sound system. Amazing. Bathrooms are 1€.
