Pyxari, Rock formation in Meteora, Greece

The Pyxari rock formation rises to 524 meters above sea level at the southwestern edge of the Meteora complex in Thessaly.

The Monastery of St. Anthony was built on the southern side of Pyxari Rock during the 14th century, with only a small church remaining today.

The caves and cliffs of Pyxari contain ancient hermitages where Christian ascetics lived in isolation, following their spiritual practices.

Visitors can access the area through marked pathways near Kalabaka, with designated parking spots available at the base of the formation.

The rock structure contains multiple cave formations at different elevations, connecting to the Cell of Constantius and other religious dwellings.

Location: Kalabaka

Part of: Meteora
