Meteory leżą w Grecji, koło miasta Kalampaka. Pełnia funkcje klasztorów, ale także mieszkan dla mnichów
Na szczytach skał umiejscowiony jest zespół prawosławnych klasztorów . Początkowo wszelkie materiały potrzebne do budowy i życia mnichów wciągane były na linach, również odwiedzający mogli dostać się do monastyrów jedynie na linach. Obecnie część z monastyrów udostępniona jest dla zwiedzających i dla ich wygody zostały wybudowane schody i pomosty.
Pierwsze wspólnoty religijne pojawiły się w Meteorach pod koniec X w., mieszkając w jaskiniach i pustelniach.
Legenda głosi, że św. Atanazy, założyciel Wielkiego Meteora , najstarszego monastyru, wzniósł się na szczyt na skrzydłach orła. Tak czy inaczej, założył on pierwszy klasztor w 1336 r. Było to podczas wojen Bizancjum z Serbią i klasztory były dobrym, bo niedostępnym, schronieniem. Ukrywał się tu m.in. Jan Paleolog – następca tronu serbskiego. Okres świetności klasztory przeżywały za panowania osmańskiego sułtana Sulejmana Wspaniałego (1520-1566).
Monastyry gromadziły wtedy ogromne skarby, czerpiąc zyski z posiadłości ziemskich w Tesalii, Wołoszczyźnie i Mołdawii.
Od XVIII w. klasztory zaczęły podupadać . W sumie wybudowano 24 klasztory (każdy na innej skale). Obecnie w największym z nich, w którym jeszcze sto lat temu przebywało stu dwudziestu mężczyzn, dzisiaj mieszka trzech zakonników. Współcześnie tylko sześć klasztorów jest zamieszkanych i toczy się w nich normalne życie monastyczne. Są to cztery klasztory męskie i dwa żeńskie

Rocks located at the top is the team Orthodox monasteries. Initially, all the materials needed for construction and life of monks were hauled on the ropes, the visitors could get to the monasteries, only on the ropes. Currently, some of the monasteries will be open for visitors and for their convenience have been built stairs and bridges.

Now some monastyries are open for visitor. For them there has been built stair and bridges.
First religious communities had been built in Metears in the end of X century, living in cages and hermitages.
