Ascend the Greek Sanctuaries in the Sky

- Rarely do nature and architecture combine so perfectly as they do at the divine Greek monasteries of Meteora. The site is a collection of Greek Orthodox monasteries perched on rock pillars 1,300 feet above ground. Built by monks from the 14th to the 16th centuries, they were constructed using a network of ropes, pulleys, baskets and ladders. Without changing the landscape, the monks managed to build monasteries that seem like an extension of the mountains themselves. The name Meteora translates to "suspended in space," and these monasteries truly seem to defy gravity.

Tara Golchin EXACTLY MY FIRST THOUGHT
actually now that you mention it I can totally see that
Tara Golchin omg yessssss
a tip: watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Odin Yusuf yup, have been using flixzone for years myself =)
It's the Air Temple!
I see some people complaining about how short these videos are. I love it this way - short and punchy! If I want to know more, there's the entire Internet in my hands :)
Wow this is just stunning. Love the content of this channel 🙌🏻😀
Hound Life Vlogs I wonder if it's possible to visit this place. It's amazing!
Lighten Up you can definately go there
i know right? i also make mini documentaries and i hope to travel these places soon.
Lighten Up Yes of course you can go there......you can visit from 7 am to 8 pm and there is also a town down the cliff and a village with an amazing view.....the scenery is incredible...im telling you you are gonna love it.....its like travelling into a different country....hope you visit meteora one day
Great visuals, just a shame the video is so short.
crowing all their videos too short and that's the pain point. I wanna watch and hear more about it all these clips are is just Teasers
You can see the complete video here vimeo.com/128581865
Best comment.
Looks so beautiful as well, I wouldn't mind retiring somewhere like that
I was lucky enough to visit 4 of these last summer. Absolutely stunning and definitely worth the trip to northern Greece. And the locals in Kalambaka were very warm and welcoming into their town.
This is so beautiful!! I'm Greek so this makes me so happy
Been there last year and it was pretty breathtaking. It's a huge feat how humans managed to build this more than 500 years ago
this is where the air bender live!
dude! you are so right hahah
less that 5 minutes, but have a solid content and straight to the point.👍👍👍
Many things in the uncharted series are actually well known. Like the ones in Hungary and India. But the channel deserves appreciation for the way they have made the videos and their narration.
Castles in the sky 😍😍
best channel with daily videos on youtube
Extraordinary! I cannot even imagine how much effort went into building it!
wait...what!?! where is the rest of the document?
this is wayyyyyyy too short. wanna learn more about this Greek wonder. please extend the length of your video. this awesome architecture deserves more time than this.
great video thanks for the hard work
Im so blessed to be Greek
this pops up in my feed literally weeks before my brother and his girlfriend are headed to greece for five weeks
I'm now trying to convince him to go here
I've been there, it's beautiful
Love this
phenomenal!
Great video, but as always, it was too short!!!!
You can see the complete video here vimeo.com/128581865

Proud to Be Orthodox!!!
Iman Allen no one gives a fuck
Clearly the people who liked my comment do. And clearly, you do too, given that you took the time out of your day to comment back. If you really don't care, you would have just left me alone and kept scrolling.
Iman Allen true
Thanks God I am an atheist
holy shit!!!! i cant believe my eyes.....this is near my city an i never expected such a big chanel as little big storie would make a video about it
a minute thirty??
You're killing me big story!!#

I've been there!
Очень красиво! И как только построили?
Beautiful place. I think it'd make a good overwatch map in my opinion
wow.
Can you stay overnight in the one pictured? Panos verenos I think it is.
i love this story. but why is it all drone shots? were you guys not allowed inside?
This one was wayyy to short you needed at least 5 mins
holy sh*t thats amazing
#notificationsquad
Interview Walking with Giants please!! If not I understand ;/
First thought that comes into mind was that those sanctuaries were the northern air temple
What date was this filmed?? I was there recently and we saw a drone flying around.
All this while I thought Meteora was just a Linkin Park album. A Greek monastery is cool too!
The LP album got its name from these rock pillars.
I hope your videos like this lasts longer than 20mins
background song?
I live there
omg its like the ultimate rust base.
Song name?
What about the interiors?
Fucking amazing
I've Actually Been Here (Also It's Kalabaka)
The air temple.
I know where I am going before I die
ειμαι ο μόνος Έλληνας εδώ?
ΟΧΙ !!!😂😂😂😂
oxiii
JELLY FISH Nope😂😂κι εγω ελληνιδα
JELLY FISH όχι
οχι
I understand that there were a series of ropes and pulleys, but how did the very first person get up there to tie the ropes?
sofiaswim Ever consider climbing?
Yes, but the slope is 90 degrees so...
Climbing a 90 degree slope is definitely within the realm of doable, even for ancient Greeks.
not first or second!
Not first!
you are the first guy :O
είναι αλήθεια μαγευτικά
looks like its from just cause 3
sanctuary from mw3
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
I'm going here when the zombies hit so you guys have to look else where. I call dibs!
Good luck feeding yourself.
Just gotta knock off one of those buildings to make space for a garden. Then make another one a chicken cope. Maybe have a cow for milk.
KoenTalks where are you planning on finding the animals? Not wild I hope, unless you plan on spending a long time domesticating them again.
First sign of zombies and I'm on my way there with the animals in toe like fucking Noahs ark
Isn't that dangerous though? Doesn't any sort of erosion take place there?
Well I am not expert but since the monasteries have been there for hundreds of years I am gonna guess it's pretty safe.

cool story, music was real douchey though
Before the standing mountaineer soldiers and commandos these monks only with ropes pulleys and furthermore prayer climbed up and built these monasteries..
For the story only nazi paratroopers managed to land in some of the monasteries during second world war.
and for those who come to this place I say...Welcome to the fortress..Because for the newcomers it looks like a giant fortress with several small castles
20 monks 4 nuns common....
anyone from greece
First !
MEH. TAY. ORH. AH. not Meaty Oruh.
Agent 47 are u there?

FIRST
Ugh this guys are just copy cats stealing their name from a Linkin Park album..get some originality...
TheWoWGrind I hope to God you're joking.
Obviously lol :)
Beautiful! To bad it is a Christian monastery
Jero F why bad it’s open to everyone who wants to visit them
They worship christ though
Shut up pagan
And your point is?
