The Megalou Meteorou or Metamorphoseos Monastery is the oldest, largest and most official of all the existing Meteora monasteries today, as its name 'Megalo Meteoro' (Great Meteoro) states. On its imposing rock, it has a dominant position in the monastery group of Meteora.

Hiking

Route with poor indications. GPS is strongly recommended. There are no food supplies on the trail and very few fountains (only at the monasteries).

Hiking

The Ossuary is located on the first floor of the monastery.
