The Monastery of Varlaam, the second largest monastery in Meteora, was founded in the 14th century by a monk named Varlaam who bravely climbed the cliff to establish this spiritual haven. It's like a real-life fairy tale where monks conquered towering rocks to build their sanctuary. Today, visitors can marvel at its ancient architecture and soak in the peaceful vibes that have stood the test of time.

When visiting Meteora Monasteries, remember the dress code!!! Find more about it in the travel tips...
