Monastery of St. John the Baptist, Meteora, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Meteora, Greece
The Monastery of St. John the Baptist stands on a rock formation adjacent to the Monastery of St. Nicholas Anapausas in central Greece.
The rock where the monastery rests served as residence for Athanasius the Meteorite during the 14th century before the construction of the religious complex.
The monastery features religious architecture with decorated interiors containing frescoes from both the 15th and 18th centuries representing Orthodox Christian traditions.
Visitors can reach the monastery through improved access paths and modern facilities, including winch-operated lifts that replaced the traditional rope ladders.
The monastery occupies a position 400 meters above the Peneas Valley, offering views across the geological formations of Meteora.
