Dupiani, Rock formation in Kalabaka, Greece.
Dupiani is a rock formation rising about 390 meters within the Meteora complex. Multiple religious structures sit on different parts of this stone, including a main church and monastery ruins.
The Skete of the Holy Virgin was founded in 1347 by Hieromonk Nil as the first monastic settlement in Meteora. Major renovations of the main church happened in 1867 and again in 1974.
The monastery preserves Orthodox Christian traditions through its frescoes and religious artworks visible inside. These sacred images show how monks lived their spiritual lives on the rock.
The rock sits near Kastraki village, where you can find places to sleep and eat. From there, you can walk to the formation on visible trails that lead up to the church.
The complex holds remains of several religious buildings spread across the rock, including the Monastery of Saint Dimitrios and Pantocrator ruins. These scattered structures show how monks used different sections of the stone over time.
