Agios Stefanos monastery, Greek Orthodox monastery in Meteora, Greece

The Agios Stefanos monastery stands on top of a rock formation, connected to the mainland by a stone bridge at 300 meters elevation.

Founded in the early 15th century, the monastery underwent severe damage during World War II when German forces targeted it, suspecting resistance fighters inside.

Two main chapels comprise the monastery complex: the 15th-century Saint Steven chapel and an 18th-century cathedral dedicated to Saint Charalambos.

The monastery operates daily except Mondays, with visiting hours from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM during summer months.

This monastery functions as a nunnery since 1961, with 28 nuns maintaining the grounds and producing handmade embroideries for visitors to purchase.
