Meteora is a cluster of sandstone pillars in central Greece topped by six working Orthodox monasteries, reachable by road and by footpaths between the rocks. Sunset from the western viewpoints is the signature moment, but walking the old monks' trails is the better way to see it. Kalambaka below has train connections from Athens and Thessaloniki.
