Meteora Rocks
GREECE
In the middle of northern Greece, these sandstone rocks rise abruptly from the ground. The rocks are composed of a mixture of sandstone and conglomerate. They were formed about 60 million years ago. The first people to inhabit Meteora were hermits, who lived in hollows and fissures in the rock towers, some of which soar 550 m above the plain. Today the Meteora is one of the largest and most important complex of monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos.
