Air Serbia » Er Srbija | 19 Meteori su podignuti na vrhovima stena, na obroncima tesalijske ravnice. Ostaci prvih manastirskih zdanja potiču iz 11 veka, a danas ih je ostalo samo šest aktivnih pod zaštitom Uneska, iako ih je nekada bilo čak 24. Manastirski kompleks Meteori, smešten između mesta Kalambaka i Kastraki u Grčkoj, predstavlja jedinstvenu svetsku atrakciju, jer je izgrađen na potpuno nepristupačnim stenama koje se dižu i do 550 metara u nebo. U slobodnom prevodu sa grčkog naziv Meteori značio bi „okačen na nebo“, što je i prva asocijacija pri pogledu na ovo sveto mesto. Drevni manastiri ovog nebeskog grada građeni su na liticama i samim vrhovima stena, pa zbog svog jedinstvenog izgleda i mistike koja ih okružuje predstavljaju pravi magnet za turiste sa svih krajeva sveta. Predanja kažu da su prvi manastiri u Meteorima izgrađeni primitivnim metodama, kao i da su kamen, alate, konopce i sve druge potrebštine graditelji izvlačili samo pomoću užadi. Prema legendi, radoznali posetioci uvek pitaju sveštenike koliko često menjaju konopce, na šta ovi odgovaraju sa: „Kada Gospod dozvoli da puknu.“ Ovaj manastirski kompleks je bogomdano mesto za asketski život monaha, čije se kelije i danas mogu videti u šupljinama stena. Pešački prilazi objektima sagrađeni su tek početkom 20. veka, tako da se danas do njih stiže spletom staza i stepenica. Teritorija Meteora je od 1995. godine grčkim zakonom i odlukom Sinoda Grčke pravoslavne crkve proglašena za sveto mesto, neprikosnoveno i nepromenljivo. Najpristupačniji i ujedno i jedini ženski manastir je manastir Svetog Stefana. Nebeski manastiri Heavenly monasteries The Meteora monasteries were erected on the tops of vertical rock formations on the slopes of the Thessalian plain. The remains of the first monastery buildings date back to the 11th century. Although there used to be as many as 24 monasteries, today only six of them remain active and are under UNESCO protection. The Meteora monastery complex, located between the town of Kalabaka and the village of Kastraki, represents a unique world attraction, because it is built on completely inaccessible natural sandstone megaliths that rise up to 550 metres into the sky. Loosely translated from Greek, the name Meteora would mean lofty or elevated, which is the first association when looking at this holy place. The old monasteries of this "heavenly city" were built on cliffs and the very tops of rock pillars, so their unique appearance and the mystique that surrounds them ensures they are a veritable magnet for tourists from all over the world. It is traditionally believed that the first Meteora monasteries were built using primitive methods, and it was only with the help of ropes that the builders hauled up stone, tools, ropes and all other necessities. According to legend, curious visitors always ask the priests how often they change the ropes, to which they respond: "When God allows them to break". This monastery complex is a God-given place for the ascetic life of monks, whose cells can still be seen in cavities in the rocks today. Approaches to the buildings on foot were only built at the beginning of the 20th century, so they can today be reached by a combination of paths and stairs. According to Greek law and the decision of the Synod of the Greek Church, the territory of the Meteora has been declared an inviolable and unchangeable holy place since 1995. The most accessible monastery, and the only nunnery, is the monastery of St. Stephen. 11 6 1995.
