A Journey through
Space, Time, Geology
The Meteora – Pyli Geopark is located in the western end of Thessaly and covers an area of 2409.5 km2, including the municipalities of Meteora and Pyli.
Its boundaries include impressive geological monuments and geotopes, which explain the complex geological processes that led to the emergence of the oceanic formations of the Tethys Ocean and the creation of the Greek mountain ranges, the processes of their erosion and the creation of the modern landscapes and geomorphs of the Greek area.
Among them, the rocks of Meteora with its imposing monasteries, which have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1988, dominate the landscape.
The Meteora – Pyli Geopark is officially recognized as a “UNESCO Global Geopark”.
UNESCO Global Geoparks are areas of exceptional geological interest and value, recognized by UNESCO for their importance in protecting geological and natural heritage, while also promoting sustainable development and environmental education.
