12. Meteora, Greece
via wikipedia.org
The Meteora, which means “middle of the sky”. truly lives up to its name. Located in Thessaly, Greece, it’s one of the largest and most famous complexes of monasteries in the Eastern Orthodox faith.
The six monasteries are built on top of sandstone rock formations that jut out above the trees and high into the sky, hence giving rise to the name Meteora. It’s considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and now that it’s still under the radar in terms of tourist attraction popularity, visiting it would be highly commendable before the crowds discover it!
