I visited Meteora for three days just over a year ago and plan to completely revamp this entry from publications I purchased, including posting my pictures. Having said that, the last paragraph now is out of place and if no objection, I plan to delete it. GeoTraveller 01:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
I really think List of monasteries at Meteora needs to be put in this article. I don't believe the list is so big that it should be on its own.-- Rastabilly 22:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, go on. On second thought, I'll do it. Cheers!! - Zachary crimsonwolf 12:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I visited Rousanou/St. Barbara and St. Stephen. They were both easy to get to though St. Stephen had a drop off from it's (railed) "moat" bridge that horrified some fellow travelers. Student7 02:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
That's interesting. Perhaps, if you took some photographs, you can upload them for the article. -- Zachary crimsonwolf 16:11, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I have failed this GA.
The main reasons are comprehensiveness and references. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 00:06, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, that's a bummer. I'll have to do more, then. Thank you for the review, I really needed someone to tell me where to start from. Cheers, Zachary crimsonwolf 14:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
This article needs help! If anyone is interested, please leave me a message. Cheers! -- Zachary crimsonwolf 13:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
It turns out that Cunard (the cruise line) are reproducing the start of this article (and several others) in their daily printed newsletter without citing wiki. One guy in cust svc even claims that this article may have been cribbed from them. Anyone want to help refute this? thx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.80.218 ( talk) 16:01, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Anyone want to put in the fact that Meteora was one of the inspirations for it? Its page on Bulbapedia claims it to be true, so if anyone wants to do a bit of research to see if you could back it up, it should probably be added here.

An excerpt reads " ...which geologists maintain were made by the waters of a prehistoric sea. Greek historian Herodotus wrote in the 5th century BC that local people believed the plain of Thessaly had once been a sea..." Actually, nearly every place on earth has been underwater at one time or another including most (if not all) of the Himalayas. This needs rewording by someone with a passing familiarity with geology and/or Greece. It sounds naive. My guess is the somewhat out of context paraphrasing was meant to indicate that the land was underwater in recent geologic times, after a "recent" ice age maybe? Can't be too recent - the current shoreline would apply. Student7 ( talk) 18:06, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Meteora (Greek monasteries) → Meteora — This page was moved to make way for a redirect to a less notable article ( Meteora (album)) without discussion. Propose this should be moved back to Meteora. Tomayres ( talk) 18:53, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Dear, historicans, I can say that this text is apsolutely wrong. When you say "In 1344, Athanasios Koinovitis from Mount Athos brought a group of followers to Metéora.", do you think that he is builder of Meteora?!?! Builder can be only leader of some country or state (in this case, John Uroš with his father Simeon Uroš, who promote building of this monastery complex, Athanasios Koinovitis just have been ordered to assemblage group of monks from Atos. One monk to have money to make big complex of monasteries in this time?!?! This is Middle Age! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srdjantodorov93 ( talk • contribs) 00:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Meteora. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{

to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Meteora → Metéora – Seems more proper with the diacritic (and is written that way in the opening sentence and infobox). — BarrelProof ( talk) 01:21, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
No diacritics should be used in Wikipedia article titles.and indeed they aren't. As I understand, and https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/Meteora confirms, the stress in English pronunciation is on "o", so the diacritic would be additionally misleading. I'm inclined to remove it from the article body and infobox instead, leaving it only in the transcription. No such user ( talk) 08:56, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
