WHAT TO DO
Meterora is not only a place of religious devoutness and visit to the impressive Monasteries. The
wild landscape with the extraordinary formation attracts thousands of nature and sports lovers,
offering a number of adrenaline-boosting activities.
• CLIMBING Climbing on the rocks of Meteora is a very old...habit. In the past, the residents of
the area turned to rugged rocks to protect themselves from the attacks of rascals and pirates. Lat-
er, eremites and monks approached the enormous rocks by climbing. Every year, more and more
Greek and international athletes visit this place, with schools and teams for a safer guidance.
• HIKING & RAFTING This area is a great all-year destination. Thanks to the natural wealth,
professional and amateur athletes participate into a large number of activities, such as hiking,
mountain cycling, descent of gorges and rocks, rafting and tubing, and many more. These activi-
ties can be organised by experienced experts through Visit Meteora.
