Meteora Roussanou Monastery

Meteora - Roussanou

The Meteora Roussano Monastery looks like it is almost melted to its underlying rock cliff. The road passes directly underneath it. You park on the side of the road, and then you walk up a neighboring cliff. At the left of the photo you can see a small bridge which you cross to enter the monastery.

Just before you enter the Roussanou Monastery there is a plateau where you can look around.

You can see the access bridge on the right hand side of the monastery. The monastery has a terrace where you can enjoy the magnificent view. I have made a photo of the view, which I will publish in a separate post.
