Ypsilotera Monastery, Former Orthodox monastery in Meteora, Greece.

The monastery stands at 585.7 meters elevation on Ypsilotera Rock, adjacent to Devil's Tower between St Nicholas Anapausas and Varlaam monasteries.

Paschalis of Kalambaka established Ypsilotera Monastery in 1347, developing it into a center for manuscript production during the medieval period.

The monastery gained recognition for its skilled calligraphers who dedicated their time to creating and preserving religious manuscripts within its walls.

Visitors can observe the monastery ruins from viewing points at the Great Meteoron and Varlaam monasteries in the Meteora complex.

The monastery structure incorporates the Athonite architectural style, positioned on a lower rock formation directly connected to Ypsilotera Rock.
