This magnificence of nature reveals all its grandeur for centuries now, as it is a unique geological phenomenon and an important monument to Eastern Orthodoxy with many treasures and heirlooms kept in the complex of the monasteries. Meteora, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, are also known as the second Aghion Oros (Mount Athos). In the monasteries that are built on the top of the cliffs on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders the monks-ascetics continue the monastic tradition for over six centuries. 6 monasteries are still functioning of a total of 24 at their peak in 16th century. Also, outside the monasteries you can find a lot of different miniature crafts.
