7. Greece’s Meteoric Monastery

On the subject of monasteries in high, sacred places, Greece has one to rival China's in Roussanou Monastery, located outside of Thessaly amid the Metéora, a chain of sheer rocks jutting up from the land below. The range's name comes from the same word as a meteor, which literally means rocks hanging in the sky.
