You're standing at the Monastery of Rousanou, a Greek Orthodox monastery near the town of Kalambaka in central Greece. Start by looking at the rock it sits on. The monastery is perched on top of a sheer cliff, more than four hundred metres above the valley of the Pineios river. It makes you wonder how anyone ever managed to build up there.
