The Meteora – Pyli Geopark, recognized as a “UNESCO World 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.
