Meteora is a whole different world, you won't find anything on google maps or Waze besides the monasteries; you have to drive around and find the views you like best. If you are in a rush and don't have time to find the best viewpoints and cool photo locations, this post is for you. Each viewpoint has a bit of a different angle, but they’re all breathtaking. They’re not guarded, so visit at your own risk.
This is a pretty popular spot and is also known as Sunrise rock.
When it says Deck, don't expect an actual deck. There are 3 parking spots (max 5 cars can fit in here), once you park your car you walk/climb on rocks to reach a beautiful spot where you can sit and watch the sunrise.

This was our favorite spot to watch the sunset, and I guess others agree since this spot is also known as Sunset rock.
It isn't difficult to get to but do know that the rock I'm standing on in this photo isn't connected to the viewpoint, and you'll need to jump a little to reach it.
There are 3 parking spots (max 5 cars can fit in here) so arrive early.

While driving from Varlaam to St. Nicholas, we found this beautiful spot and decided to stop and take a photo here. There are quite a few parking spots here, but it still doesn't have a name.

If you park your car at Varlamm and walk in the opposite direction you'll a path that leads to this really cute spot where you can see the view of Varlaam monastery and if you are daring enough to walk on the left side of the path, you'll find a gorgeous view of Rousanou Monastery.

Park at the Great Meteoron parking lot and walk back down the road towards Varlaam. Turn right onto the grassy verge between Varlaam and Great Meteoron and walk down the path below.
