Meteora's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Great Meteoron and Varlaam, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Sunset viewpoint — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
Towering rock pillars topped with medieval monasteries, seemingly suspended between earth and sky in central Greece.
