Alysos, Rock formation in Kalabaka, Greece.
The Alysos rock rises to 620 meters above sea level, forming part of the sandstone and conglomerate formations within the Meteora complex.
The Monastery of the Apostle Peter's Chains was constructed around 1400 on Alysos rock, marking an important period of monastic expansion in the region.
The ruins on Alysos rock stand as evidence of the Eastern Orthodox monastic traditions that developed across the Meteora formations during medieval times.
The rock formation provides multiple climbing routes and hiking paths, with clear views of Kalabaka town from its eastern face position.
The ruins of the monastery on Alysos contain architectural elements that reflect the building techniques used by monks to construct structures on vertical rock faces.
