Movies filmed at Meteora

Named here by Meteora’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Meteora, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Drawn from this place
Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Meteora as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
