Meteora Monasteries
 Monastery MeteoraStudies suggest that the pinnacles were formed about 60 million years ago during the Paleogene Period. Weathering and earthquakes then shaped them into their present shape. |  MeteoraThe Metéora is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos. They are also known as "middle of the sky", "suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above" |  Meteora MonasteriesThe six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece.
