The Theopetra Cave is an archaeological site located in Meteora, in the central Greek region of Thessaly. As a result of archaeological excavations that have been conducted over the years, it has been revealed that the Theopetra Cave has been occupied by human beings as early as 130000 years ago.
Meteora means “suspended in the air ” and that is exactly what you will get when you visit Meteora. The main attraction is its monasteries that are literally suspended in air! They are great places to start when looking for things to do in Meteora. There are six monasteries that are still remaining from the original 24 that date back to the 14th century.
