Ypapantí Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Meteora, Greece
The Ypapanti Monastery stands within a natural cave formation on a steep cliff face, approximately seventy meters above ground level in Meteora.
Monks Nilos and Cyprianus established the monastery in 1367, during a period when the Byzantine Empire faced increasing pressure from Ottoman forces.
The monastery's main temple features a single-aisled, cruciform basilica design that represents one of the earliest examples of this architectural style in Meteora.
Access to the monastery requires following a northern trail through wooded areas, starting from the Grand Meteora Monastery parking area.
Unlike other Meteora monasteries built on rock peaks, Ypapanti Monastery occupies a large cave cavity within the rock formation itself.
