Amazing monastery on top of a giant rock formation, full of spirituality. - This is a magical place that allows you to experience unique sensations. It is impressive to see how the monks managed to make these constructions on gigantic rock formations to protect themselves from the Ottomans. Today there are very few monks living in these places that are so lonely but so full of spirituality.

Great Experience.. - I recently went on the Varlaam Monastery self-guided audio tour and it was amazing! The audio narration was very convenient and allowed us to explore at our own pace. We had previously taken the Meteora driving tour, which was also great. If you plan on visiting the monastery, don't forget to purchase the 3-euro entrance ticket. The peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking architecture of the monastery left us speechless. This experience is definitely worth it!
