44 Secret Filming Locations Hollywood Doesn't Want You To Find
22. Meteora, Greece – Monasteries in the Sky
Meteora’s ancient monasteries, perched atop towering rock pillars, seem like something from a fantasy novel—but they’re real, and still active. Though featured in a few films (For Your Eyes Only being the most famous), the region is still remarkably underutilized in cinema. The high-perched monasteries, accessible only by narrow paths and ladders, offer natural tension and awe. With shifting clouds and sheer cliffs surrounding them, they’re ideal for spiritual dramas, historical epics, or fantastical quests. The visuals alone create a sense of otherworldly isolation, ideal for introspective or transcendent storytelling.
