Le monastère de Roussanou, également connu sous le nom d'Arsani, se dresse au sommet d'une impressionnante falaise verticale et abrupte des Météores, entre les monastères de Saint Nicolas Anapafsas et de Varlaam.

Le monastère de Saint Nicolas d'Anapafsas est littéralement suspendu dans les airs sur un petit rocher et est le premier monastère que nous rencontrons sur notre chemin du village de Kastraki vers la forêt de pierre de Saintes Météores.

Le monastère de Varlaam ou monastère de tous les saints est situé sur un rocher imposant exactement en face du Grand Météore et c'est le deuxième plus grand monastère des Météores.

Le monastère de la Sainte-Trinité est le troisième plus ancien des Météores et le plus difficile d'accès, car il faut traverser un sentier en descente puis gravir 145 marches creusées dans la roche. On raconte que les premiers ermites utilisèrent une échelle de corde et un filet pour le construire, et qu'il leur fallut 70 ans pour transporter tous les matériaux nécessaires.

Le monastère de Saint-Étienne (Agios Stefanos) est situé juste au-dessus de la ville de Kalambaka et est le monastère le plus accessible des Météores, car il n'y a pas de marches pour atteindre l'entrée et l'accès est facile par un petit pont de pierre.

Le monastère du Grand Météore ou Transfiguration du Christ, exprime la grandeur et l'histoire des Saintes Météores, car il est le monastère le plus ancien et le plus important.

Come evening, we'll set off on our journey back to Athens, and you can expect to arrive there at approximately 10:15 PM.
