Meteora
No. 10 of Best Things to Do in Greece

Meteora

5.8
4.7/5
35 reviews
The Meteora Monastery is one of the most spectacular buildings in the area and has been listed as a World Natural Heritage Site. It was built in the 14th century on a higher rocky hill in the valley at an altitude of 613 meters. The unique church is built on a high cliff, as if floating in the air, as if it makes people feel like they are in a pure land isolated from the world. The architectural pattern of the Meteora monastery reflects the status of the main monastery. There is a room where the skulls of the deceased monks are displayed, and the clothes worn by the early monks are also collected. There is a group of frescoes "Martydom of Saints" in the monastery.Meteora · 20.6km from Chasia
Monastery of Varlaam

Monastery of Varlaam

4.5
Vallam Monastery is the larger monastery of Meteora. It is located on a cliff at an altitude of 595 meters. It was named after Varlaam, an ascetic who built three churches here in 1350. The current monastery was built by the Apsarades brothers, wealthy children from northwest Greece. The monastery's dining room is now a museum with manuscripts from the 11th-16th centuries and ancient icons. Because of the dangerous terrain, the monastery has preserved the culture and traditions of ancient Greece and smashed the invasion of Islam.Meteora · 20.2km from Chasia

Holy Monastery of the Great Meteoron - Transfiguration of the Saviour is located atop the towering rock formations of Meteora in the Thessaly region of Greece and is an important, historic Eastern Orthodox monastery in the area. The monastery was founded in the mid-14th century by Saint Athanasios of Meteora, later expanded during the time of King Joasaph, and further developed in the 16th century. It houses a rich collection of religious art and historical artifacts, including exquisite frescoes, icons, manuscripts, and other precious items from the Byzantine and post-Byzantine periods, some of which can be viewed in the monastery museum. Built upon steep rock peaks, the monastery has long integrated with its unique natural surroundings, reflecting the long-standing monastic traditions of the Greek Orthodox Church while carrying significant historical and cultural value.

Compared with other monasteries, the Holy Trinity Monastery is located in a remote location, and the interior is relatively simple, but there are more tourists. The religious murals in it are also the denser among the several nearby monasteries. This is also the filming location of the 007 movie "For Your Eyes Only".Meteora · 21.5km from Chasia

Acropolis Museum
No. 2 of Best Things to Do in Greece

Acropolis Museum

8
4.5/5
395 reviews
The overall scale and form of the Acropolis Museum are largely determined by its own exhibits, particularly its rich collection of architectural sculptures, including large pediments from archaic temples, votive statues, and the diverse sculptural decorations of the Parthenon. To display these sculptures, the museum designed a rectangular gallery of at least 3,200 square meters, whose shape and proportions echo those of the ancient temple itself. On the other hand, the museum's foundation had to be carefully modified to accommodate the ancient architectural remains unearthed through systematic excavations of the building site. Close collaboration between architects and archaeologists ultimately led to a suitable solution, determining the final positions of the museum's foundation pillars without damaging the surrounding artifacts. The ongoing archaeological excavations were conceived as a large-scale exhibition and integrated into the museum. Additionally, a plan was developed to display the most significant unearthed artifacts within the archaeological site. The museum's architectural design boldly employs highly transparent glass curtain walls, aiming to establish direct visual connections between the exhibits, the rock itself, and the Acropolis ruins where the museum's artifacts originated. At the same time, it allows visitors to enjoy panoramic views of Attica's historic hills and mountains, as well as the contemporary urban environment. Similarly, the glass floors inside the museum integrate the archaeological excavation areas below into the exhibition halls. In this way, the museum avoids being disconnected from its surroundings and instead becomes an extension of the environment, reinforcing its intrinsic connection with the ancient Athens view. The museum exhibition areas are divided by terrain and theme. The first floor features large exhibition halls with ramps equipped with glass floors, replicating the slope of the Acropolis hill and displaying archaeological artifacts unearthed here. Ascending to the second floor, visitors are greeted by high ceilings and skylights, where artifacts related to the Athens Acropolis are showcased. The western exhibition area displays sculptures from the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion, as well as architectural components of the Propylaea. The second-floor hall is dedicated to the sculptures of the Parthenon. Returning to the north wing of the second floor, visitors find the final exhibition space, featuring artworks from the 5th century BC to the end of the classical period.Greece · Athens

The monastery is a women's monastery, built on the edge of a very steep cliff, and its structure is ingenious. It is decorated with beautiful stained glass, as well as frescoes of "Christ Resurrection" and "Appearance". From every angle, it is a different look, and the view overlooking the entire valley from here is also very beautiful.Meteora · 20.6km from Chasia

Since the 5th century AD, monks have come to the mountains to practice. After hundreds and thousands of years of unremitting efforts, there were more than 20 monasteries in Meteora. With the hardships of the years, only six remain.
