When you think of Greece, you think of islands and beautiful crystal clear blue waters. However, Greece also has an amazing mountain range.
Meteora is located in Kalambaka Greece. What is Meteora? Meteora is the actual rock formations that you see in Kalabaka Greece and it stands for Suspended in the air. Meteora has a long history dating back 50,000 years. The oldest man-made structure can be found in here dating back 23,000 years. Crazy to think about right?

Photography Guide to Meteora Greece
Upon your arrival in Kalambaka, you will notice the epic rock formations known as Meteora. If you arrive there by train there is really only one way to do this and to do it right. What you need to do is contact my friends at Visit Meteora and sign up for their sunset tour. They will take you to all the epic locations listed here. That’s the way I do it.
If you arrive by car then what you want to do is take the Epar.Od. Meteoron-Kallitheas road. This is the road that will take you around all the monasteries, and of course all the epic photography spots.
There are four main photography spots you must visit. Do not get me wrong, every corner of Meteora is incredible, however, these three spots are a must when you are there. From a photographers perspective.
The Gear
The gear I used for all my photos: Nikon D800 with a Nikon 14-24mm. A wide angle is a must. I edit all my images with my Lightroom Presets download them and give them a try.
In No Particular Order The Best Photography Spots Meteora Greece
1. Sunset rock. this is an awesome view of the valley, make sure you walk around as there are many different places you can set up and get your shots. This is the shot to get if you only have time to visit one place this is the one or just finish here.
2. The observation deck. You can find this place up the road from the sunset rock. The view looks almost identical, but if you look close you can see that is quite different and just as impressive.
