Meteora means "middle of the sky", "suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above".Meteora is a huge cluster of dark rocks rising out of Kalambaka, near the first hills of Pindos and Hasia. The monasteries of Meteora, which are built on top of some of the rocks, is currently the second most important group of monasteries in Greece after Mount Athos. Of the thirty who have been historically, today only seven exist which since 1988 included in the world heritage list of UNESCO.
